Built in the mid-15th century and abandoned around the time of the Spanish Conquest, the site was never found by the conquistadors, which is why it remains so well-preserved.
Most train-based tours offer cancellation up to 48 hours before, but Inca Trail permits and Machu Picchu entry tickets are strictly non-refundable by the Peruvian government.

Real experiences from real travelers
The full-day train tour was seamless. Our guide from the platform was an actual archaeologist who brought the ruins to life. Worth every penny!
Booked the 4-day trek through this site. The food provided by the crew was better than most restaurants in Lima. Seeing the sunrise at the Sun Gate is something I will never forget.
Very easy to book. The train journey is spectacular. Make sure to bring plenty of water as it gets hot during the midday tour.
We booked a 3-hour private guide for our family. He knew exactly where to take the best photos and explained the history in a way that kept our kids engaged.
The views of the snowy peaks were incredible. The booking process was simple and the local operator was very professional. Highly recommend this alternative to the Inca Trail.
We had a flight delay and the support team helped us reschedule our entry time without any hassle. Very reliable platform.
Machu Picchu is magical, but having a great guide makes it even better. Our guide, Carlos, was so knowledgeable about Incan astronomy.
As a hobbyist photographer, the semi-private tour was perfect. The guide knew the exact lighting conditions for the best shots of the citadel.
Everything you need to know for your journey
We recommend booking at least 4-6 months in advance, especially if you plan to hike the Inca Trail or visit during the peak season (June to August), as permits and train tickets sell out quickly.
Yes, the Peruvian government requires a specific permit for the Inca Trail, which is limited to 500 people per day (including guides and porters). These must be booked through an authorized tour operator.
The dry season from May to October is generally considered the best time. June and July are the clearest months but also the busiest. The rainy season peaks in January and February.
Machu Picchu is actually lower in altitude (2,430m) than Cusco (3,400m). However, we recommend spending at least 2 days in Cusco or the Sacred Valley beforehand to acclimate and avoid symptoms like headaches or nausea.
Yes, many travelers take an early morning train from Cusco (Poroy or Ollantaytambo stations) and return in the evening. It makes for a long day (approx. 15 hours) but is very common.
Layering is key. The morning can be cold, while the sun is very strong at midday. Wear comfortable hiking shoes, a sun hat, and bring a high-quality rain jacket, even in the dry season.
No, there are no toilets inside the archaeological site itself. They are located just outside the main entrance. You are generally allowed to exit and re-enter once to use them, but check your specific ticket type.
Only small daypacks (under 20 liters) are allowed. Large trekking packs must be left at your hotel or in the luggage storage lockers at the entrance for a small fee.
Yes, under current government regulations, all visitors must be accompanied by a licensed tour guide to enter the citadel to ensure the preservation of the site.
