FAQS?

What to expect from the Machu Picchu tour from Cusco?

The Full Day Machu Picchu Tour from Cusco is one of the most popular excursions in Peru, as it allows you to explore the entire Llaqta of Machu Picchu in a single day. It begins with a trip by private tourist transport from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, followed by a train ride from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes town.

Where does the Machu Picchu tour from Cusco start and end?

Our Full Day Machu Picchu service begins with pick up at your hotel first thing in the morning, with prior coordination. It ends with the transfer from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, specifically near the historic center of the city.

How is the weather during the Machu Picchu tour from Cusco?

The Cusco region and the Andes generally experience two distinct seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. This distinction is also observed in areas such as the Jungle Brow (Machu Picchu, Inca Jungle), where temperatures are warmer due to its jungle nature. The rainy season, which covers about three months (January to March), is usually quite wet. On the other hand, the dry season extends from April to October, with clear skies and little rain, these months being the most propitious for visits. April and November are considered transitional and can present unpredictable climates.

How many travelers will share this experience with me?

Inkayni Peru Tours offers tours in small groups, with a minimum of two travelers and a maximum of 17. If the group exceeds 12 people, a main guide and an assistant guide are assigned to ensure optimal service.

What coin should I bring Soles or dollars?

It is advisable to bring US dollars when traveling to Peru, as they usually have a good exchange rate at local exchange offices. Avoid changing money at Peruvian airports, where fees are often less favorable. Upon arriving in Cusco, you can exchange your dollars for Peruvian soles at Av. Sol, where there are many exchange houses with good exchange rates.

If you can’t get dollars, you can change your local currency directly to soles, although exchange rates are usually better for the dollar. During the tour, it is useful to have Peruvian soles, since most local tourist businesses accept this currency, although some also accept dollars. Our staff will be available to provide guidance on this matter.

What is the minimum age for the Machu Picchu tour from Cusco?

The recommended minimum age is 8 years and is not recommended for children from 0 to 7 years. All minors must be accompanied by adults (+18 years). Children under 11 years old have special rates. Over 12 years old pay the regular rate. The maximum recommended age is 60 years.

Is it possible to charge my electronic devices during the tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco?

Electronic devices can be charged at travel package hotels. The voltage in Peru is 220V/60Hz AC. It is recommended to carry a voltage adapter if the devices are for lower voltages to avoid damage. The common plugs in Peru are Type A, Type B, and Type C.

What do I need to enter Peru?

Citizens of Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia can enter Peru with their national identity cards. However, citizens of countries such as Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica and others must present a valid passport for at least 6 months from their arrival in Peru. In general, visas are not required for most countries, although there are some exceptions such as Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, and Kosovo, which do need visas to enter Peru.

Where can I store my luggage during the visit to Machu Picchu?

It is recommended to leave the heavy luggage in the accommodation of Cusco for comfort. Most hotels offer free luggage storage. During the train trip to Machu Picchu, operated by Peru Rail or Inca Rail, it is allowed to carry only 5 kilos of luggage. Therefore, it is advisable to bring a backpack or small suitcase with the necessary items for the stay and visits, since you must return to the hotel in Cusco at the end of the day.

What if my tour is canceled due to weather conditions or strikes?

Due to factors beyond the immediate control of the travel agency, tours are non-refundable. All visits and tours are planned months in advance to guarantee entry tickets and tickets throughout the trip.

What is the best train service to Machu Picchu: Expedition or Vistadome?

Both trains, Vistadome and Expedition, follow the same route and schedule to get from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu village. However, the Vistadome offers a more panoramic and spacious experience. With larger windows and more space between the seats, you can better enjoy the changing landscape, from mountainous areas to the jungle eyebrow. In addition, the Vistadome offers additional entertainment, such as a dance show and fashion show with baby alpaca garments on the stretch from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo.

What kind of ground transportation is used on tours?
