How far in advance should we book the Machu Picchu full day tour from Cusco?

We should book in advance at least two to three months before peak season (June to August). Availability is limited, especially for train tickets and entrance passes.

How do we get tickets to Machu Picchu?

Our tour includes tickets to Machu Picchu, so we do not need to buy them separately. However, we should book early to secure our spot.

When should we reserve train tickets?

It is best to book in advance since train tickets sell out quickly, especially during high season. The train schedule varies, and we will take the most convenient option.

Is Machu Picchu open all year?

Yes, Machu Picchu is open year-round. However, the rainy season (November to March) may bring unpredictable weather. The awe-inspiring views are best on clear days.

What time will we return to Cusco?

We will arrive in Cusco in the evening, depending on the train schedule and return transfer. The journey back takes several hours.
