Faqs 7 Day Machu Picchu Tour
Is it necessary to reserve the entrance to Machu Picchu?
It is not essential, but it is advisable. We bought it the day before in Aguas Calientes and had no problem, but it is not unreasonable that you arrive and there are no tickets for the next day.
Is it necessary to reserve the entrance to Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain?
Yes, absolutely, yes. When we asked at the ticket office, there were months on the waiting list.
Do I need a passport to enter Machu Picchu?
You must show your passport with your ticket to Machu Picchu. It is not enough to bring a copy.
Is it mandatory to hire a guide to visit Machu Picchu?
No. Have you read that it is? Me too, but it is not valid.
What is true is that it is recommended.
Is it possible to visit Machu Picchu in one day without sleeping in Machu Picchu Pueblo?
It is possible. You can go on the first train and return on the last one or take the minivan back. But since you have come this far, it would be advisable to spend a night and enjoy the visit more quietly.
Travel Guide
How to get to Machu Picchu
After the discovery of the ancient Inca city, a village was built at the base of the hill to receive the many curious first and tourists later, attracted by this wonder. It is known as Aguas Calientes or Machu Picchu Pueblo. The bad thing is that it is not accessible by road, so the most comfortable is to use the train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, but it is the most expensive way (calculate about 120 USD per person round trip).
There is an option to cheapen the transportation, but you must be prepared for a few hours of buses and shared cabs and then stick to an 11 km hike. This is the well-known route of the Hidroeléctrica.
How to get from Mach Picchu Pueblo to Machu Picchu
Some buses leave at 05:30 in the morning from Machu Picchu Pueblo and travel the winding road of 3 km to reach the entrance of Machu Picchu. It costs 12 USD each way, and you must buy the ticket at the ticket office with your passport (you cannot believe it on the bus).
If you want to walk up, the route passes through sections of this same road and shortcuts in the middle of the forest. The climb is not long, but it takes about 1 hour.
Schedules for Machu Picchu
- Machu Picchu (Circuits 1 or 2) in one-hour intervals (from 6:00 to 14:00)
- Machu Picchu (Circuit 4) + Huayna Picchu in group 1 (from 6:00 to 7:00 am)

- Machu Picchu (Circuit 4) + Huchuy Picchu in one-hour intervals (from 6:00 to 14:00)
The ascent to Huayna Picchu
If you could buy your ticket for Huayna Picchu and you listened to me and did it at 10, after the guided tour, you will have some time to walk around the ruins and take the typical panoramic photos.
A little before 10 o’clock, head towards the entrance of Huayna Picchu on the opposite side of the entrance to Machu Picchu. There you will queue up a bit, show your ticket again, check in, and you can climb to the top at 2,667 meters above sea level. It is a climb of another hour and a half, which is problematic because it has many steps. However, you will enjoy a fantastic view of Machu Picchu and the surrounding mountains when you get to the top. You will be able to rest and take pictures.
Hot springs of Santa Teresa
You can find thermal medicinal waters in Santa Teresa just 10 minute drive from Santa Teresa (the name of the place is “thermal baths of Cocalmayo”), and any cab will take you there for three soles per person.
It costs only ten soles for foreigners (5 soles for Peruvians), and as soon as you get into one of its three vast and hot pools, you will feel in glory. The time will fly by, and with luck, you will see a beautiful starry sky and come out of there like new.
