How to get to Machu Picchu
Most travelers take the train from Ollantaytambo or Cusco (Poroy) to Aguas Calientes, then the 25-minute bus up to the citadel. Our tours combine the train with the Sacred Valley, a night in Aguas Calientes for an early visit, or a same-day return to Cusco.
Machu Picchu tickets and circuits
Since 2024 the citadel is visited through fixed circuits with timed entry and daily limits. We buy your ticket for the circuit that matches your tour (Circuit 2 is the classic panoramic route) and can add Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain when available. Book at least 4–6 weeks ahead for June–August.
Which Machu Picchu tour should I choose?
- Full day: ideal if you are short on time and already acclimatized.
- 2 days: Sacred Valley + early morning at Machu Picchu.
- 3–4 days: add Maras, Moray, Chinchero and the Cusco city tour.
