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.
