📅AVAILABILITY & BOOKING
To check availability and book the Machu Picchu Tour by Train, please contact us via WhatsApp at “👉 +51 931 316 437” before making your reservation so we can speak with you in real time. If your preferred start date is available, please let us know your travel date. We will check the availability of your Machu Picchu entrance ticket, assist you with your reservation if available, and always choose the best available circuit at the time of your reservation. Machu Picchu has several official circuits to visit, and we prioritize them in the following order: If Opt 1 is available, we will purchase that one. If not, we will choose Opt 2, and so on, depending on the real-time availability shown on the official Peruvian government website, as they are the only authorized seller of Machu Picchu tickets, and all agencies purchase through the same system.
- Opt 1: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuito 2 – Circuito clásico / Ruta 2-A: Clásico Diseñada: It includes the viewpoint, the classic photo and a complete visit to the Inca citadel, being this the most requested circuit, (book 3 months before your trip).
- Opt 2: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuito 2 – Circuito clásico / Ruta 2-B: Terraza Inferior: Similar to Option 1, with a slightly different route in the urban area (if Option 1 is no longer available, we will reserve this one).
- Opt 3: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuito 1 – Panorámico / Ruta 1-B: Terraza superior: It covers the upper part of the classic lookout, but you will not be able to visit the citadel.
- Opt 4: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuito 3 – Machupicchu realeza / Ruta 3-B: Realeza diseñada: Visit only the lower part of Machu Picchu, without access to the classic viewpoint, but you will visit the central viewpoint.
- Opt 5: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuit 1 – Route 1-A: Machu Picchu Montaña: It includes the ascent to the Machu Picchu mountain with panoramic views, but not the citadel, this option has a higher cost than the others because it is a combination of circuit 1 plus the Machu Picchu mountain.
- Opt 6: Llaqta Machupicchu / Circuit 3 – Route 3-A: Waynapicchu Montaña: It includes the hike to Wayna Picchu and a brief visit to the lower part of the citadel, this option has a higher cost than the others because it is a combination of circuit 3 plus the Wayna Picchu mountain.
If Opt 1 is important to you, book at least 4 months in advance—it’s the most popular and sells out quickly. All tickets are sold exclusively by the Peruvian government, and no agency can access tickets beyond what’s available on the official platform. You can check real-time availability of MachuPicchu circuits here: 👉 +51 931 316 437
Note: If you make your reservation for the Machu Picchu by train service and you do not have the entrance ticket to Machu Picchu, you must bring USD 40.00 or PEN 152.00 per person (purchased in Aguas Calientes Machu Picchu village).
