- BOOK IN ADVANCE: Due to extremely high demand and strict government regulations, we highly recommend booking 4 months or more in advance to guarantee your preferred entrance times and premium train tickets.
- PASSPORT DETAILS REQUIRED: The Machu Picchu government authority strictly requires the following details to issue your official entrance tickets: Full Name, Passport Number, Date of Birth, and Nationality. Please provide this data exactly as it appears on your passport at the time of booking.
- Machu Picchu entry is limited and scheduled in hourly shifts. Machupicchu CN Expeditions prioritizes the highly sought-after morning windows (6:00 AM to 10:00 AM). If these specific slots are sold out, our team will immediately secure the next closest available time, 100% ensuring your visit to the Inca citadel.
- Tickets are assigned according to real-time availability. Our first choice is always Circuit 2 (The Classic View). If Circuit 2 is fully booked by the government, an alternative route (Circuit 1 or Circuit 3) will be assigned seamlessly so you can still experience the magic of the sanctuary.
- THE BRIEFING: A Machupicchu CN Expeditions representative will contact you one day prior to your tour to coordinate a briefing at your hotel lobby or via an agreed method. We will hand over your original physical/digital tickets, maps, and a step-by-step itinerary review.
- LUGGAGE POLICY FOR THE TRAIN: The train companies only allow a small backpack or carry-on bag per person (approx. 5kg/11lbs) for the overnight stay in Aguas Calientes. You can leave your large luggage at your Cusco hotel storage for free, or safely leave it at our main offices in Cusco during your trip.
- Please pack: Passport (mandatory for entry), sunglasses, comfortable walking clothes, hiking shoes/sneakers, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, a warm jacket, and waterproof gear if traveling during the rainy season (December to March).
- WHEELCHAIRS: Standard group tours are not wheelchair accessible. Wheelchair-accessible options are only available under a Private Tour format at an additional cost due to specialized logistics.
- GROUP SIZE: This tour accommodates a maximum of 10 travelers. During the low season, groups are often smaller (around 4 travelers), offering an incredibly personalized and intimate experience.

As a female solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about booking a trip to Machu Picchu with all the logistics involved, but Machupicchu CN Expeditions made me feel completely safe, welcomed, and taken care of from day one. The 2-day tour is absolutely the best way to do it. Right from the start, Liz from operations was incredible, staying in touch throughout the entire journey and making sure everything was running smoothly. The transport through the Sacred Valley was fantastic—we traveled in a super comfortable and modern Hyundai Staria, and the atmosphere with the other passengers was so friendly and pleasant. Our driver, Carlos, was excellent and made the ride very smooth. The absolute highlight was my guide, Mario, at Machu Picchu. He was wonderful, so knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet—he constantly offered to take amazing photos of me since I was traveling alone, and he navigated the circuits perfectly so I could enjoy the views without feeling rushed. Spending the night in Aguas Calientes allowed me to enter the citadel fresh the next morning during the best early shifts. If you are a solo traveler looking for a stress-free, premium, and deeply friendly experience, do not hesitate to book with them. Thank you Liz, Mario, and Carlos for making my trip so unforgettable!
My friends and I booked the 2-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour, and it was simply phenomenal! From day one, the logistics were perfect thanks to Liz, our coordinator, who kept everything organized and stress-free. Our driver, Miguel, was excellent and made us feel super safe on the roads. The first day through the Sacred Valley was stunning—we loved the textile weaving in Chinchero, the impressive Moray terraces, and the unique views of Maras Salt Mines. Carlos, our tour guide, was outstanding! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Inca history. He also took the most beautiful panoramic photos of us at Machu Picchu on day two! It was a truly beautiful experience that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended agency if you want a premium, worry-free trip to Cusco. Thank you, Cielo and friends!
