MACHU PICCHU 2 DAYS
Come and discover one of the wonders of the modern world: Machu Picchu. With our overnight program, you will spend a night in the town of Aguas Calientes and leave the next day, very early in the morning to make your way up to Machu Picchu, and with any luck, catch the sun rising over the citadel before exploring the ancient Inca buildings and beautiful surrounding countryside. Experience the magic that surrounds this enigmatic archaeological site.
Availability
Machu Picchu and its surroundings are protected areas. To prevent environmental and archaeological damage, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture only allows a maximum of 3,800 people per day to enter, including paying hikers and guiding staff. As such, you must reserve as far in advance as possible. At times, the Machupicchu books out 2 months or more in advance. Keep in mind that the months from July and august (inclusive) have the highest demand, and permits quickly book out. To reserve your space on the Machupicchu, we need certain personal information to send to the government agency which issues the permits.
GROUP SIZE
Our shared groups are small, from 4-8 people maximum. For private groups, the number of people will be determined by the client.
