Is it necessary to book the Machu Picchu tour in advance?

Yes, it’s strongly advised to reserve your Machu Picchu tour ahead of time. Due to high demand, particularly during peak travel seasons, tickets can sell out fast. Booking early guarantees your place and helps you avoid any last-minute issues.

While it’s not required, hiring a guide can greatly enrich your visit to Machu Picchu. A knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into the history and culture of this incredible site, making your experience more memorable and meaningful.

What steps can I take to avoid altitude sickness?

To avoid altitude sickness, it’s best to spend a few days acclimatizing in Cusco before heading to Machu Picchu. Make sure to stay hydrated, drink coca tea, avoid overexertion, and consider consulting a doctor before your trip for additional advice.

How can I travel to Machu Picchu?

The most popular way to get to Machu Picchu is by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. From there, you can either take a bus or hike up to the Machu Picchu entrance. Another option is to trek the Inca Trail, which offers a more demanding yet incredibly rewarding adventure.

Documents: Bring your passport, credit card, cash, entrance ticket to Machu Picchu, and any other necessary paperwork.
Clothing: Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing suitable for hiking, preferably quick-drying. A windbreaker or rain jacket is also a good idea, as the weather can change unexpectedly.
