FAQS

Is it necessary to hire the service with a travel agency?

Hiring the service of a travel agency is highly recommended to ensure a safe and hassle-free journey. Machu Picchu, being the main destination in Cusco, has restrictions that may be overlooked when traveling independently. A trusted agency like TOUR IN PERU provides the necessary guidance and security measures to ensure an unforgettable experience.

If I already have my Machu Picchu entrance ticket, can I still take the service?

Yes, our main function is to accommodate services according to your wishes or requests. There is always a way to make this work, but, of course, we must consider details of schedules and availability. We invite you to consult this with our travel advisor, who will be happy to assist you.

What type of climate characterizes Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu is located in a region with a warm and humid climate due to its location in the eyebrow of the jungle. This implies regular rainfall, especially between November and March. The altitude makes many people who are not accustomed to the height of Cusco prefer to explore Machu Picchu in the early days of their visit.

What is the best travel season?

Cusco offers a variety of captivating climates at each moment. Two seasons stand out:

  • Dry season (April – October): Sunny and pleasant days without frequent rains, ideal for enjoying the scenery and a favorite choice for many travelers.
  • The rainy season (November – March): Although rains are more common, the nature of the sanctuary and its surroundings take on a more vivid tone. Also, being less crowded, spaces are more available for us.

What are the other options available to reach Machu Picchu?

There are three ways to reach Machu Picchu. The first is the classic train route to Aguas Calientes; the second is by bus, known as Machupicchu by car; and the third is through trekking routes such as the Inca Trail 4 days and Short Inca Trail 2 days, Salkantay 5 days. Other combined options end with a visit to Machu Picchu, such as the Inca Jungle, highly recommended for adventure lovers.

How much in advance is required to make a reservation to visit Machu Picchu?

If you are planning to explore Machu Picchu and secure your entry, it is crucial to consider the season of your trip. It is suggested to make the reservation at least one month in advance during the low season (December to March) and at least two months in advance during the high season (April to November).
