About this activity
The Machu Picchu tour package combines the four essential experiences of the Cusco region into one seamless 4-day itinerary: the Cusco City Tour (Qoricancha, Cathedral and 4 Inca ruins), the Maras Salt Mines and Moray agricultural terraces, the Sacred Valley (Chinchero, Pisac and Ollantaytambo), and Machu Picchu reached by Expedition train. Included: airport transfers, 2 nights hotel in Cusco + 1 night in Aguas Calientes (all with breakfast), buffet lunch in the Sacred Valley, round-trip Expedition train, Machu Picchu entrance ticket and bilingual guide. This is the classic Cusco and Machu Picchu itinerary — built for first-time visitors who want to see the best of the region with full logistical support, without the stress of organizing each piece independently.
Why book 30 days ahead: Machu Picchu has a fixed daily visitor quota and sells out weeks in advance during high season (June–August, Easter, Christmas). The Expedition train from Ollantaytambo has a separate limited capacity. We secure both simultaneously — the earlier you book, the better your entry time options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Machu Picchu tour package include?
A complete Machu Picchu tour package from Cusco typically includes: airport transfer, accommodation in Cusco and Aguas Calientes, the Expedition train (Ollantaytambo → Aguas Calientes), Consettur bus up and down to the citadel, Machu Picchu entrance ticket and a professional bilingual guide. Our 4-day package adds Cusco City Tour, Maras and Moray, and the Sacred Valley circuit — giving you the complete regional experience rather than just Machu Picchu in isolation.
How many days do I need for a Cusco and Machu Picchu package?
4 days / 3 nights is the practical minimum to see the key highlights of Cusco (City Tour + Maras/Moray), the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu without rushing. For travelers who want to add Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake, a 5-day extension is available. For those including the Inca Trail or Salkantay Trek, plan 8–10 days total in the Cusco region.
How far in advance do I need to book a Machu Picchu package?
Minimum 30 days in low season (November–April). For high season (May–October), especially July and August, book 2–3 months ahead. For peak dates — Inti Raymi (June 24), Fiestas Patrias (July 28–29), Easter and Christmas — 3–4 months minimum. The bottleneck is always the Machu Picchu entrance quota (fixed daily) and the Expedition train capacity. Both can sell out independently.
Does the package include the Cusco Tourist Pass (BTP)?
No. The BTP (Boleto Turístico del Cusco) is managed by the Cusco Regional Government and sold separately at their ticket counters. For this 4-day package, we recommend the Full BTP (~S/. 130 PEN, ~$35 USD) which covers Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Pucapucara, Tambomachay, Moray, Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero — all the sites included in the City Tour and Sacred Valley days. The BTP is valid for 10 days. Machu Picchu has its own entrance ticket, which IS included in the package.
What type of train is included in the package?
The package includes the Peru Rail Expedition in standard tourist class: assigned seats, panoramic windows and audio narration of the route. The train runs Ollantaytambo → Aguas Calientes (~1h45min) and return. Upgrades to Vistadome (+$70/leg), Vistadome Observatory (+$90/leg) or the luxury Hiram Bingham train (+$250–450/leg) are available at the time of booking.
Can I go to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain?
Yes — but you must request it when booking. Huayna Picchu (400 spots/day, 2 shifts at 07:00 and 10:00 hrs) sells out 6–12 months ahead in high season. Machu Picchu Mountain (800 spots/day) is more accessible. Both require a separate additional entrance ticket (~$25 USD each). If you don't mention it at booking and the spots are gone for your date, we cannot add it retroactively — confirm when you first contact us.
Is the package suitable for people with altitude sickness concerns?
For most healthy adults, this package is manageable with proper Day 1 acclimatization. The altitude curve is favorable: Day 1 (3,400 m) → Day 2 (3,762 m max) → Day 4 (2,430 m — lower than Cusco). The key is Day 1 rest and hydration. If you have a history of severe altitude sickness, consult your doctor before booking and consider arriving in Cusco 2 days early. Our guides carry emergency oxygen and are trained in altitude response.
Is the Machu Picchu entrance included?
Yes. The Machu Picchu Archaeological Park entrance ticket is included in the package price. This covers access to Circuit 2 and the 2-hour guided tour. Optional mountain peaks (Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain) are separate additional tickets not included.
What hotels are included in the 3 nights?
2 nights in Cusco: 3-star properties in the historic center, within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas. American breakfast included. Central heating, 24-hour reception. 1 night in Aguas Calientes: 3-star property near the train station. Breakfast included. 4-star upgrades are available on request. The specific hotels are confirmed at booking based on availability.
Can I customize this package?
Yes. Common modifications include: adding Rainbow Mountain (Day 5), adding Humantay Lake (Day 5), upgrading the train (Vistadome/Hiram Bingham), upgrading hotels to 4 or 5 stars, or adding Huayna Picchu/Machu Picchu Mountain. Contact us via WhatsApp with your group size and preferred dates and we'll quote the customized version.
What is the cancellation policy?
This package is non-refundable once the Machu Picchu entrance and train tickets have been purchased. These tickets are issued under the names of each traveler and cannot be transferred or refunded by Peru Rail or the Machu Picchu park. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance with trip-cancellation coverage before booking any Machu Picchu package.
