To minimize altitude sickness, it's best to arrive in Cusco 2-3 days before your Machu Picchu tour. This allows your body to adjust to the high elevation.
Machu Picchu's altitude is 2,430m (7,972 ft), with the Sun Gate at 2,720m (8,924 ft) and Kilometer 104 at 2,000m (6,562 ft).
Cusco, where you'll likely acclimatize, is even higher at around 3,400 meters (11,155 ft). That's why it's essential to take it easy and adjust to the altitude before heading to Machu Picchu.
