Visiting tips

Visiting Machu Picchu is an unforgettable experience. To enjoy your visit, here are some helpful tips:

Plan for tickets

Tickets for Machu Picchu are limited and can sell out fast. This is especially true during busy tourist seasons from April to October. Make sure to book your entrance tickets ahead of time. If you can, also reserve a spot for hiking the Inca Trail or other nearby treks. The availability of these permits is limited.

Arrive early

To avoid the crowds, try to visit as early as possible. Sunrise at Machu Picchu is stunning and provides a more peaceful experience and you’ll be able to enjoy the site when it’s less crowded.

Take the train

Most people travel by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. This town is the closest to Machu Picchu. It’s a scenic journey but also one that requires booking, especially during peak times. From Aguas Calientes, you’ll take a short bus ride to the entrance.

Dress comfortably

The weather can be unpredictable bringing layers! It can be sunny and warm in the morning. However, the temperature may drop in the afternoon. There is always a chance of rain. Comfortable shoes are a must, as you’ll be walking on uneven surfaces.

Stay hydrated

The altitude (around 2,430 meters or 7,970 feet) can be a challenge for some, so it’s important to drink plenty of water. However, be careful not to carry too much. There are no water refill stations inside Machu Picchu. They do not allow large bags or heavy items.

Hire a guide

You can explore Machu Picchu by yourself, but a good guide can make your visit better. They can share interesting facts about the history, culture, and construction of the site.

Altitude considerations

If you are coming from Cusco, which is at a high elevation, take it easy. Allow time to adjust to avoid altitude sickness. Stay hydrated and avoid heavy meals before traveling to Machu Picchu.
