Good to Know

The guided tour lasts approximately two hours, after which you can stay and explore independently. You'll need to bring valid photo identification for entry, and tickets are timed, so arrive promptly at your designated entry slot.

Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for uneven stone pathways and terraces. Food and drinks aren't permitted inside the archaeological site. Note that bus transport from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu isn't included in this package.

Consider combining your Machu Picchu visit with a Sacred Valley day trip to see other important Inca sites like Ollantaytambo and Pisac.
