Celebrity Flora and Machu Picchu Post cruise

[Abbeydd]

Has anyone been on Flora post pandemic and continued on the post cruise to Machu Picchu?   We are scheduled to leave for Flora in a week and we're trying to get information about the Machu Picchu post cruise from someone who has recently done it.  I think it just started up again not long ago.  We are lacking in information even from Celebrity.   If anyone has done it please let me know how it went.  I know they say double masking and face shields??  Just wondered how it is.  Thanks!    Dee Dee

I went on a Galapagos cruise and then a Machu Picchu trip (neither was through celebrity)… this was in September so things may have changed.

 

we had to get a PCR test 72 hours prior to entering Peru. We ended up getting on in Quito through a travel company. 2 masks were required on the plane and in all indoor locations in Peru. 1 mask was required in outdoor locations (including Machu Picchu). You will take a train from Cusco to Machu Picchu town, and then a bus from Machu Picchu town the site (that’s the only way you can get there). For some unknown reason the bus and train require 1 mask AND 1 face shield. There are vendors that sell face shields near the train station but we got ours ahead on Amazon.

I don't know if this is your first visit or not, but I'd highly recommend Machu Picchu as a destination.  It's really a "must see".  Just drink lots of water and take it slow, because of the high altitude.

We did Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu on a four day tour in 2019 with PeruAgency.com

 

It was fantastic and we only paid $799 pp for a PRIVATE tour.   Hotels were great, some meals included.  Price was 1/3 the cost of an excursion from Celebrity.

 

Highly recommend getting you physician to prescribe altitude sickness meds for this area of Peru.
