Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city located high in the Andes, near Aguas Calientes, Peru. It was built in the 15th century by the Inca Empire and is known for its impressive architectural structures, agricultural terraces and panoramic views. Machu Picchu was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911 and is considered one of the wonders of the modern world.

To reach Machu Picchu from Cusco, the tour includes complete logistical transport: taking a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. From Aguas Calientes, you will take a bus (approximately 30 minutes) that ascends directly to the entrance of the Citadel. The two main train companies are PeruRail and Inca Rail.

Generally, the visit to Machu Picchu lasts between 2 and 3 hours. If you wish to do additional trekking (such as climbing Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain), you may need more time (approximately 4 to 6 hours in total).

The best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season (April to October), when rainfall is less frequent. The most popular months to visit are June, July and August, but they are also the most crowded. The rainy season is from November to March, and the rains can make the trails slippery.

Yes, especially during the high season (April to October). It is highly recommended to purchase tickets to Machu Picchu at least 1-2 months in advance. Entrance tickets to trails such as Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain are limited, so it is important to reserve them in advance.

Small backpacks (up to 5 kg) and cameras are allowed, but no tripods or drones are allowed. Backpacks must be small in size and cannot carry large or dangerous objects. Also, keep in mind that camera and phone batteries should be sufficient for the day, as there are no chargers available at the site.
