Overview

This experience is ideal for travelers planning a last-minute visit to Machu Picchu. Due to limited availability and new government regulations, entrance tickets must be purchased locally in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town).

To maximize your chances of securing the most requested circuits 1, 2 or 3 (especially Circuit 2), we strongly recommend arriving at least one or 2 days in advance, and before 7:00 a.m. if possible. During high season, arriving up to 2 days earlier is highly recommended.

Our local team will meet you upon arrival and assist you throughout the entire process to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
