Machu Picchu IncaRail Question Traveling to Peru in May and have a question about buying tickets to Machu Picchu. It looks like if I try to purchase entry tickets direct from the government website, I have to wait until this Thursday and the month of May will go on sale, but it seems like the popular entry times sell out fast. Alternatively, if I visit IncaRail’s website, it …

Machu Picchu via one-day Inka Trail Many people want a taste of the Inka Trail, but may not have time or physical conditioning to do the entire four day trek (or maybe the want a shower). There is fortunately another option! The one day inka trail. Since I just completed it, I thought I would share some insights. 1) the Inka trail is highly controlled for number of people. You wi…

A few questions on Machu Picchu, Peru We’re taking a trip to Peru in mid-August and ran into some issues with our reservations getting switched at the last minute that have forced us to re-assess. In particular when we reserved our tickets for Circuits 1 and 2 a while back, through a middleman website, the tour operator switched us to Circuit 3 and my wife consented because she didn…

Poll for the Peru enthusiasts: Rainbow Mountain or Machu Picchu for a second time? I’m currently headed to Cusco for a college roommate’s wedding. I visited her before, roughly 5 years ago, and went to Machu Picchu. I know how amazing it is and would be stoked to go back! I’m going to Cusco with a bunch of college friends who are going to Machu Picchu for their first time. Due to time constraints with the wedding, we really on…

They have 2 that seem to have a lot of overlap, and I’m not sure which one to do or if I should just do both: 1) https://www.machupicchureservations.org/tour/rainbow-mountain-tour 2) https://www.machupicchureservations.org/tour/palcoyo-day-hike-ex…

Machu Pichhu Booked onto the Inca Trail with a friend as a spontaneous decision. It’s in a month’s time. I’m of relatively decent fitness (I can run a 10k run in about an hour, climb regularly 2-3 times a week, and I’m on my feet for my job). How hard is the hike? I’ve heard I need to do a few hikes in my boots to get used to them and the group tour I’m in w…

4 days to do Machu Picchu – please help!

Machu Picchu/Inca Trail tips and advice? I’ve always wanted to see Machu Picchu and decided to check it off for my 30th birthday in May. I’ve hiked Kilimanjaro and it was one of the best experiences of my life so definitely want to do something similar to that for MP instead of taking a bus or train. I’ve done a good bit of research but have a few questions I could use some help with. …

Peru – Best Way To Access Machu Picchu I’ll be going to Peru in May 2024. Obviously, Machu Picchu is a must-visit. Has anyone visited and have recommendations? Is it better to stay in Cusco then take the train in same-day or stay a night in Aguas Calientes the night before? What would you say is the most efficient way to reach Machu Picchu and would you recommend a certain tour? Cos…

Machu Picchu ticket sold out any alternatives I planned a last minute trip to Peru last week and after booking the flights I realized that the MP entrance tickets are sold out for the whole duration of my trip to Cusco in mid-september. I read online that there is a tourism office in Cusco and aguas calientes where they sell some tickets in person everyday. Does anyone know if this is true?…

Machu Picchu Ticket Timeslots – totally confused as to when we enter? I just purchased tix to Machu Picchu through the official govt site for what I thought (think?) was/is the 9am timeslot. My tickets say 8am. The email I received say 9am. The reservation page once my booking was complete gives a timeslot (I think) of between 8-9am! I’ve added some pics to show the slot I selected when booking, the tix received,…

Worth going to Peru just for Machu Picchu? (Salkantay) Have some time + some money before starting a new job. I am from the UK and have never been to South America, and have always been intrigued by MP. I was thinking just under 2 weeks to fly to Lima / Cuzco, including climatisation time + 5 day Salkantay. Would this be worth the price? Would be great to hear anyone with a similar experience, espec…
