Yes, to protect MACHU PICCHU, the number of people allowed a day is limited to 4500 (spaces may vary depending on new regulations). That is why you should reserve your space as soon as possible. Spaces can be filled up three to four months in advance. Spaces fill more quickly in the high tourist season, from May to September.
As Sacred Valley or Urubamba Valley is a vast valley where there are many archaeological sites from the Incas time, one day is not enough to see the whole highlights of the valley, that’s why we have split it into 2 options to visit and enjoy it properly. Any of the following tours start at 7:00 am at your hotel in Cusco. See the options below.
On this option, firstly you will visit Maras salt ponds, which was the main salt source to provide to Cusco and other settlements in Urubamba valley like Machu Picchu, today this place is still used by locals where locals farm salt by hands as the Incas used to make it centuries ago.
Our next place to visit is Moray, a unique Incan farming testing center, where the Incas built terraces in rounded-shape especially to generate many microclimates because of this, today, Peru has over 3000 sorts of potatoes. Our last place to explore is Ollantaytambo, another impressive place for its temple of the sun whose granite boulders were brought from 5 miles away. Our journey continues to Machu Picchu Pueblo at 3:37 pm by Vistadome train (glass roof train).
En route to Pisac is located the alpaca and llama farm, a perfect place to learn about the South American camelids, where we will stop to interact with these animals. The next place to visit is Pisac, a place with massive crop terracings are covering the mountain hillsides and the largest Incan cemetery is located here, the bustling Pisac market still allures some travelers who are in the mood to get some souvenirs, the stop is optional which will be decided by you.
Our next stop is at Ollantaytambo, a place famous for its temple of the sun whose construction rocks (100 tons) were brought from 5 miles away. Our journey continues to Machu Picchu Pueblo at 3:37 pm Vistadome train (glass roof train).
Easy to Moderate
The most important day has arrived because it is the day of Machu Picchu, we will wake up very early to have breakfast that’s organized at the hotel, right away to go to the bus station and take the bus for 25 minutes to get the Machu Picchu sacred Inca city. “what a moment” you will be very amazed by having the Sacred citadel right in front of you, so we will seal our feat with an epic picture with Machu Picchu at the background.
After the photography session, the tour will start, where our private guide will deliver the information about this site. Once you finish the tour at Machu Picchu you will take the bus back to Machu Picchu Pueblo.
Whether you have booked a ticket to hike to Wayna Picchu mountain, you will hike before the tour, it depends on the availability of spaces for that day, more info see Wayna Picchu option, if not, the Machu Picchu montaña will be booked.
In the afternoon you have to take the bus from Machu Picchu Inca city back to Aguas Calientes town( Machu picchu Pueblo) to take the train back to Ollantaytambo train station or Poroy train station, where our transfer will be waiting for you to take you back to the hotel in Cusco.

Besides, Machu Picchu offers one of the world’s most spellbinding travel experiences. But it’s also a world-renowned destination, and touring the site in a big group with multitudes of tourists shoving for photos, and competing to hear the guide, your once in a lifetime visit to this World Heritage Site may lose its magic. Our Machu Picchu Trips are scheduled with an average of just four travelers, allowing for a deeper exploration of the lost city of the Incas, with our Local Experts / Tour Leaders.
We are very confident the quality of our Machu Picchu Tour 2 Days will get your expectations and that you will savor the best possible of cultural travel experience, nature travel experience, and adventure travel experience if you are dissatisfied, we’ll happily give you credit for an extra trip or for a future journey. It’s, to our knowledge, the best guarantee in the travel business.
Probably you will see that most of the tour operators mention it on their websites that are local tour companies, however, if you research a little deeper you will find out that’s not true, they might be although half of the operation is done from here and another half abroad, they even have NorthAmerican phone number or European phone numbers, which is a clue to find out, we are not against the foreigner companies or half foreign companies, what we are against is that they lie.
In Cusco exist just few truly local tour operators. If you did not know, foreign companies come to Peru to get rich without paying a General Sales Tax or Tax Contribution to our country. If you did not know that, according to the United Nations, for every US $100 spent on a tour in a developing country or foreign travel companies, only $5 stays in the local economy. Normally, almost all of the money flows back to large companies operating outside the destination countries. As we are a local family enterprise, we guarantee that your travel expenditures will support the local economy, and improve the lives of Peruvians through contributing to general sales tax.
