Machu Picchu Tours

It is best to plan your Machu Picchu Tour ahead due to the site's popularity, and the fact that only a limited number of visitors are allowed each year. A tour operator can be an invaluable help during your planning process.

Tours of Machu Picchu can be most easily arranged in Cusco. Most local operators offer a one day tour from Cusco to Machu Picchu, which includes all transport and a professional guide.

If you’re visiting Macchu Picchu as part of a day tour, you’ll usually spend about 4 hours at the ruins. Two of these hours are spent as part of the guided tour. If you want to stay longer, or see the ruins at sunrise spend the night in nearby Aguas Calientes, or in the expensive Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge—the only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu.
