FAQ:

What is the best time of year to visit Machu Picchu?

We believe that the best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, you can expect clear skies and minimal rain, making it ideal for exploring the archaeological site and taking stunning photos. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so be prepared for larger crowds. The wet season, from November to April, sees more rain and cloud cover, but it also comes with the advantage of fewer tourists. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Machu Picchu is a breathtaking destination all year round.

Which train service is included in the trip, and which are the available upgrades?

Every Machu Picchu trip includes either the Expedition or The Voyager tourist trains. Additionally, travelers may request to upgrade their return trip train rides to either the Vistadome or the 360º train.

What's the difference between the Machu Picchu trip and the Machu Picchu / Huayna Picchu Mountain Hikes (sold separately)?

The trip to Machu Picchu focuses on exploring the ancient citadel and learning about its rich history, architecture, and cultural significance. In addition to the core Machu Picchu experience, we offer an optional Machu Picchu Mountain Hike experience. This separate hike takes you on a challenging trek to the adjacent Machu Picchu Mountain, providing a unique perspective of the citadel and surrounding landscapes from a higher vantage point. The Machu Picchu Mountain Hike is an excellent opportunity for adventure seekers and avid hikers to further enhance their visit to the region.

Please note that both the Machu Picchu Mountain Hike and the Huayna Picchu Mountain Hike are not included in the base price of the Machu Picchu trip, are age-restricted, and can be purchased at the start of the trip.

Are there any age restrictions for Machu Picchu?

There are no strict age restrictions for the Machu Picchu trip. However, due to the physical demands of exploring the site, it may not be suitable for very young children or elderly individuals with limited mobility. It is essential to consider the fitness and comfort levels of all members of your party before booking the trip. For families with young children, it is advisable to use a child carrier rather than a stroller, as the terrain at Machu Picchu is not stroller-friendly.

Is Machu Picchu suitable for all fitness levels?

The Machu Picchu trip is designed to accommodate a wide range of fitness levels. However, it is essential to note that the site is located at a high altitude (2,430 meters or 7,972 feet above sea level) and requires walking on uneven terrain, including steps and inclines. Visitors with mobility issues or significant health concerns should consult their doctor before booking the trip. It is also recommended that all travelers allow time to acclimate to the altitude before undertaking the tour.
