    • IMPORTANT. The Machu Picchu authority requests: full name, passport number, date of birth and nationality, to issue the entry. At the time of booking please provide these details correctly as shown on your passport.
    • The daily entrance capacity to Machu Picchu is strictly limited and regulated by official shifts every hour from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., so we recommend booking in advance to ensure availability in this wonder of the world; our 2-day tour prioritizes the most requested times between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., ideal for lower influx and better conditions for panoramic photographs, and in case there is no availability in that range at the time of confirmation, Travel Cusco G will automatically manage the next available official time, guaranteeing your confirmed entry and an organized and safe experience in the emblematic Inca citadel.
    • Official tickets to Machu Picchu are allocated strictly according to the availability in force at the time of booking, so we recommend confirming your Machu Picchu Tour from Cusco at least 3 to 4 months in advance to ensure Circuit 2, considered the most complete and requested to include the main archaeological sectors and the classic panoramic view; due to the high demand and limited daily capacity, if Circuit 2 is sold out, Circuit 1 will be automatically managed as an authorized official alternative, guaranteeing its confirmed entry and an organized and memorable experience in the Inca citadel.
    • Before your Machu Picchu Tour from Cusco, an official representative of Travel Cusco G will contact you one day in advance to coordinate the briefing (briefing), which can be held in the lobby of your hotel or in our offices located in the Historic Center of Cusco, as previously agreed; during this personalized session we will provide a detailed map with the step-by-step itinerary, key recommendations to optimize your visit to Machu Picchu and all official tickets included in the program (tickets, train and bus), ensuring professional organization, transparency and a fully confirmed and smooth experience.
    • For your stay in Aguas Calientes (hometown of Machu Picchu), we recommend carrying only a small backpack or carry-on baggage with what you need for the night, which will allow you to travel comfortably on the train to Machu Picchu; the main baggage can be left safely at your hotel in Cusco, as most accommodations offer storage service at no extra cost, and if you prefer, Travel Cusco G can also safeguard your belongings in our office, guaranteeing a practical, organized and worry-free experience during your tour to Machu Picchu.
    • To make the most of your 2-day tour, we recommend wearing sunglasses, comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for hikes in archaeological sites, hat or cap for sun protection, blocker, insect repellent and a lightweight jacket for climate changes in the Andean area; it is also ideal to carry a small backpack with what you need to spend the night in Aguas Calientes, and during the rainy season (December to March) include waterproof clothing or poncho to ensure a comfortable experience when visiting the majestic Machu Picchu.
    • With regard to accessibility, we offer the option to take your 2-day private tour at additional cost to provide greater assistance and flexibility to passengers using wheelchairs; however, it is important to consider that due to the mountainous geography and original stone structure of the Machu Picchu citadel, not all areas and archaeological circuits are fully accessible, so we recommend contacting us in advance to evaluate the best alternatives and ensure a safe, organized and adapted experience to your needs.
    • Our 2-day tour is operated in small groups of up to 10 travelers, ensuring a more organized, comfortable experience with better interaction with the professional guide; during the off-season, the group can be even more exclusive, with only 4 participants, allowing a more personalized service, more time for photographs and closer attention at each stage of your visit to Machu Picchu, ideal for those seeking quality, tranquility and a premium experience in one of the most iconic destinations in the world.
    • This tour/activity will have a maximum of 10 travelers
