Frequently Asked Questions

We offer exclusive small groups. The guided tour in Machu Picchu is conducted with groups of approximately 2 to 7 people, providing a more personalized experience.
The tour price applies to accommodations such as Qhaqya Hotel, Andino Hotel, or similar category hotels. These hotels are comfortable and include all essential services for a pleasant stay.
Unlike the traditional system, where a single ticket allowed visitors to explore the entire citadel, the new circuits divide the visit into specific areas. The upper circuits (Circuits 1 and 2) prioritize the classic panoramic view from the Guardian’s Hut and the upper section. The lower circuit (Circuit 3) takes you directly to the urban and historical area (Temple of the Sun, Water Mirrors), ideal for appreciating the details of Inca architecture up close, although without the iconic postcard view from above. Choosing the right circuit depends on whether you are looking for the classic photo or a tour focused on history and architectural details.
It is not technically impossible, but it is strategically inadvisable. Cusco is located at 3,399 meters above sea level, while Machu Picchu is at 2,430 meters. Attempting the trip on your first day involves extreme physical exertion after your flight and a high probability of experiencing altitude sickness during the train or bus journey. Ideally, you should spend your first night in the Sacred Valley (Urubamba or Ollantaytambo) or stay overnight in Aguas Calientes the night before your Machu Picchu visit.
There is a daily quota reserved for in-person sales in the town of Aguas Calientes (Machupicchu Pueblo). However, this requires arriving one day in advance, lining up early to register with your physical ID or passport, and adjusting your itinerary according to the available time slots for the following day. Do not rely on this option during the high season (May to October); during these months, planning 2 to 4 months in advance is essential.
It is extremely strict. There is a maximum tolerance window of 30 to 45 minutes. If you arrive outside this window due to delays with the bus or train, you will lose your right to enter without a refund. For this reason, the logistics of boarding the Consettur buses from Aguas Calientes should be planned with at least 1.5 hours of buffer time before the entrance time printed on your ticket.
The regulations require visitors to enter with an official tour guide in order to manage visitor flow and protect the archaeological heritage. Beyond the rule, exploring without a guide reduces the experience to simply walking among stone walls; a professional guide explains the astronomical orientation, hydraulic systems, and social function of each sector, giving meaning to what you are observing.
Backpacks larger than 40 x 35 x 20 cm are not allowed (if you bring a larger backpack, you will need to leave it in the lockers at the entrance for an additional fee). Trekking poles with metal tips are also prohibited (they are only permitted with rubber tips for older adults or people with reduced mobility), as are professional tripods, drones, and single-use plastics.
The first morning time slot (06:00 to 07:00 a.m.) often has morning fog or mist that gradually clears, creating mystical shots. The afternoon time slot (from 2:00 p.m. onward) offers fantastic golden light and noticeably fewer visitors, as most day tours begin returning to Ollantaytambo from around 1:00 p.m.
Machu Picchu is located in the cloud forest at a significantly lower altitude than Cusco (2,430 meters above sea level compared with 3,399 meters). There is a higher concentration of oxygen and humidity in the environment, which creates an immediate feeling of easier breathing and greater physical energy compared with the regional capital.
