How people pair up in Peru
Cusco is the hub. From there, people head to Machu Picchu by the Inca Trail, the Salkantay trek or the train, and do day trips to the Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain. Inca Trail permits are limited and sell out months ahead, so people who want to go together need to plan early. Lima is the food capital, and a food tour or a ceviche lunch is a great first meetup.
When people go
The dry season in the Andes, roughly May to September, is the most popular time for trekking. The Inca Trail closes every February for maintenance. Cusco sits at about 3,400 meters, so most people spend a couple of easy days there before hiking, which is a good time to meet the people they will trek with.
Where travelers meet
The Plaza de Armas in Cusco, hostels, and the tour agencies around the square. In Lima, Miraflores and Barranco are easy, public places to meet.
Getting a good match
