Considerations: Machu Picchu 2 Days Group Tour

For the safest and most enjoyable experience, please keep the following in mind:

• Advance Reservation Required
  

  Because Machu Picchu entrance tickets are limited, we strongly recommend booking this 2-day Machu Picchu tour at least 2 to 3 months in advance. This is especially important if you want to secure Circuit 2, the most complete and highly requested circuit within the citadel.

• Essential Documentation
  

  Throughout the journey, you must carry your original passport, as it is required for train boarding and Machu Picchu entry. Keep it easily accessible at all times.

• Transportation on Day 1
  

  On the first day, the tour includes group transportation from Cusco to Ollantaytambo only.
  Additionally, the departure time from Cusco is adjusted according to your assigned train schedule, ensuring smooth coordination with the rail service and avoiding unnecessary waiting times.

• Layered Clothing System
  

  Since weather conditions can change quickly at 2,430 meters (7,972 ft), we recommend dressing in layers. Bring a windbreaker, warm sweater, and rain poncho, especially for early mornings and late afternoons.

• Hydration & Snack Planning
  

  To stay energized, bring refillable water bottles and light snacks from Cusco. Keep in mind that food and beverages in Aguas Calientes are significantly more expensive.

• Terrain-Appropriate Footwear
  

  Wear comfortable, sturdy sneakers suitable for uneven stone paths. During the visit, expect 2 to 3 hours of guided walking inside Machu Picchu, including stairs and inclined sections.

• Budget for Additional Expenses
  

  Please note that meals, tips, and optional permits (Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain) are not included and must be paid separately if added.

• Electronic Protection
  

  Because mist and rain can occur at any time of the year, protect your devices with waterproof covers. In addition, fully charge cameras and phones in advance, especially for early-morning photography.
