Santa Teresa trip planner

Just a stone's throw from Machu Picchu, Santa Teresa serves as an important stop-off point on several routes to the famous ruins. With fewer than 8,000 residents--and a troubling history of flooding and other natural disasters--the village relies on budget tourism as its primary industry, but has yet to develop to the same level as other nearby villages. Nevertheless, a trip to Santa Teresa offers memorable scenery and an authentic atmosphere in what can otherwise be a tourist-filled area. Our Peru tour planner allows you to schedule your trip to Santa Teresa, learn about its attractions, and find out about where else to go during your holiday.
