If your trip includes a visit to high altitude cities such as Cusco and Puno located at more than 3400 meters (11 200 feet above sea level), do not forget to take precautions in order to avoid altitude sickness. Passengers who have heart problems or high blood pressure should check with their doctor before traveling

Upon arrival is recommended to rest for few hours, drink coca tea and eat lightly. As a reference, Machu Picchu is located at 2400 meters (8 000 feet above sea level)

During the months of December and March (rainy season), we will include the visit to Chinchero, a town of Maras and chicherías (local corn beer factory), instead of Las Salineras. Also, during these months, you have the option to replace this tour with a visit to the South Valley

We reserve the right to change itineraries and activities due to weather conditions, technical problems, or security reasons 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW ENTRANCE REGULATIONS TO MACHU PICCHU

The current restrictions on visits to Machu Picchu allow a maximum stay of 4 hours in the citadel accompanied by a guide during the first entry. If the visitor tours an alternate route (Mountain Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu) the passenger will have 3 hours for this purpose, additional to the 4 hours in the citadel. If the passenger wishes to enter the citadel again during the afternoon shift or the next day, he must acquire previously an additional ticket to enter in the new shift. There is no ticket sale in the archaeological zone.

The following objects are not permitted on the tour: professional cameras that require lights and tripods or equipped with telephoto lenses weighing more than 2 kilos (special authorization and an additional fee are required), drones, selfie sticks, sprays, high heels, walking sticks without rubber tips, banners and posters, sharp objects and backpacks that surpass the following dimensions: 40cm x 35 cm x 20 cm. 

NEW PLASTIC REGULATION:

Following the prohibition of bringing single-use plastic items into the 76 natural parks and reserves, including Machu Picchu, it is important to carry reusable bottles.

INSTRUCTIONS

Domestic flight from Lima to Cusco must arrive not later than 10:30hrs. Noon arrivals are too late.

Carry the same document that you presented to the agency, given that the train tickets and entrance to Machu Picchu will be issued with the same information

In all train services to Machu Picchu, the passenger can carry only hand luggage (backpack, bag, or briefcase) weighing no more than 5kg / 11lb on the train to/from Machu Picchu. You will find your luggage at the chosen hotel. Allowed size: 62 linear inches 157cm (height + length + width).
