FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Machu Picchu tours
We answer the most common questions before your journey to the Inca citadel.
What do Machu Picchu tours include?
Our tours include train transport from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, panoramic bus to the citadel, Machu Picchu entrance ticket, certified professional guide, accommodation depending on the program, and permanent assistance throughout.
How many days do I need to visit Machu Picchu?
We recommend a minimum of 4 days: 2 in Cusco for acclimatization, 1 in the Sacred Valley, and 1 at Machu Picchu. To include Humantay Lake or Rainbow Mountain, 6 to 8 days is ideal.
Is it safe to pay online for the tour booking?
Yes. We use encrypted payment platforms (PayPal and credit/debit card). We never store your payment data. Upon completing the booking you receive an instant confirmation voucher by email.
How much do Machu Picchu tours cost?
Our tours start from $89 USD. The cost varies depending on tour duration, type of service (private or group), train class, and additional destinations included. All prices are listed on each tour page.
Is acclimatization needed before visiting Machu Picchu?
Yes. We recommend 1–2 days in Cusco (3,400 masl) before your tour. The citadel is at 2,400 masl and is more accessible, but if your itinerary includes Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake, prior acclimatization is essential.
What is the best time for Machu Picchu tours?
The best season is April to October (dry season), ideal for visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu with clear skies. November to March is rainier but has fewer tourists and greener landscapes. Peru can be visited year-round.
Can bookings be cancelled or modified?
Yes. We offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before the tour starts. For date or passenger count changes, contact us at least 48 hours in advance and we will handle it at no charge.
Are Machu Picchu tours suitable for families and seniors?
Yes. We offer circuits adapted for families with children, seniors, couples, and groups. We provide different difficulty levels and can adjust the pace of the tour based on your group's needs.
What should I bring for Machu Picchu tours?
Bring comfortable layered clothing, non-slip footwear, a light raincoat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a valid passport (required for entry). Water and cash for small expenses along the way are also recommended.
