Travel Guide

How far in advance should I book the tour Machu Picchu?
We receive reservations at least 48 hours in advance. However, spaces are limited and are always subject to availability. Tickets for the Machu Picchu citadel are in high demand and in some cases are sold out months in advance. For this reason, we recommend that you make your reservation as far in advance as possible.
How long does the visit to Machu Picchu last?
The tour lasts three hours. In the first hour you will have a guided tour of the citadel. Then, you will have the rest of the time to walk around the citadel freely.
I have already purchased my entrance ticket to Machu Picchu, is it possible to book the program discounting the entrance fee from the total price?

From April to October is the dry season in the area, that is, during that period there is a lower probability of rainfall, while from November to March is the rainy season, that is, during that period there is a higher probability of rainfall.
