Recommendations:

  • The organization of the trip demands that the Machu tickets must be reserved in advance; however, if you wish to have the top of Huayna Picchu in your experience in Machu Picchu, you will have to book the ticket several weeks before your visit. If you want to come during the high season (June, July, August) then we recommend you to book 4 months in advance, otherwise you may not be able to choose from all the available tickets.
  • In neither case look for the road on your own and do not cross the lines of security. Machu Picchu was designed to be inaccessible, so looking for a path by its side is a big mistake, which could cause damage to its integrity and worse if it does while walking the mountain Huayna Picchu.
  • Many choose the dry season to come to Machu Picchu, but Machu Picchu is just as impressive under the sun as in the rain; indeed, the rainy season offers some of the most lush landscapes of Machu Picchu; also allow you to tour the Inca city, as much as possible. And that is already quite more than you can ask for in a place like Machu Picchu.
  • When you come to Machu Picchu you should be prepared for rain; the territory where it is located, can change from a radiant sun to a torrential rain in just minutes, so bring waterproof clothing, no matter what time of year it comes. Also you should protect your skin from the sun and insects.
  • You can choose to board one of the buses to climb to Machu Picchu, but you can also do it by walking. Or mix, get on bus and go down walking; however, if you are going to visit one of the mountains of Machu Picchu we recommend to go by bus, you will not like to be tired in Machu Picchu.   TOP ▲

 

Advice from people who have been there

Machu Picchu

Rocío SBy: Rocío S

“The ruins of the world“

“Machu Picchu is one of the best places in the world, it is impossible not to be overwhelmed by such a display of greatness, especially for the place they chose for it. In reality, they should care very little about the time of year they come, whether it is good weather or not, if you have the opportunity to come to Machu Picchu, do it, it is an essential trip. The rest of Peru is also very beautiful, its food is great, but there is nothing like Machu Picchu.“
