Useful information for the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 day tour

Planning ahead is key to enjoying a smooth and successful Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 day tour, especially for travelers booking for 2026. Below you’ll find essential details that will help you prepare your trip, understand what to bring, how the logistics work, and what to expect throughout the experience.

Best time to book for 2026

• Machu Picchu permits and train tickets sell out fast, especially for April–October.
• We strongly recommend booking 2–4 months in advance for 2026 departures.
• If you want to add Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, reserve even earlier—spaces are extremely limited.

Altitude information

While the Sacred Valley is lower than Cusco, altitude can still affect some travelers. The first day of the tour helps your body acclimate gradually as you explore sites such as Pisac, Moray, and Ollantaytambo. We recommend taking it easy, hydrating frequently, and avoiding heavy meals before the tour. Most visitors adapt without problems, making the trip smooth and enjoyable.

Hiking options on day 2

Travelers seeking an extra adventure can add Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain to their itinerary on the second day. These hikes require special permits, and availability is limited, so booking at least two months in advance is strongly recommended. If you prefer a gentler experience, the free Inca Bridge trail is available again and offers a scenic, low-effort walk.

Physical activity level required

This tour is designed for all travelers, including families, teens, and adults with a basic level of fitness. The walks are gentle, with some stone steps and uneven terrain typical of Inca sites. As long as you are comfortable with several hours of exploration, you will fully enjoy this itinerary without difficulty. It’s an accessible and rewarding experience for most visitors.

Arrival time back in Cusco

Your return to Cusco is carefully coordinated to avoid stress and waiting times. Thanks to the included Vistadome service, you will enjoy a scenic trip back through the Andes and arrive in Cusco around 7:00 pm. This schedule allows you to rest, enjoy dinner in the city, or prepare for your next adventure without rushing.

Do I need my original passport for the Cusco Machu Picchu tour?

How is the climate in Cusco?

The climate in Peru is highly variable and does not conform to the typical four seasons. Here in the Andes, you can experience all seasons in a single day! This is why we always recommend our visitors prepare for any occasion, whether it's for rain or sunny days. A significant factor affecting our global climate is global warming, which has contributed to glacier melting in the Peruvian Andes, impacting our weather patterns. Nonetheless, Peru, and particularly Andean cities like Cusco, have two main seasons:

• Dry Season: Generally from the end of April until the end of September, with the first rains beginning towards the end of this period. This is often considered the best time to visit our region and the amazing Machu Picchu to avoid inconveniences.
• Rainy Season: This season typically runs from October until the end of April. During this time, we advise all visitors to pack their belongings into waterproof bags, as sunny mornings can quickly turn into heavy rain. We understand that extreme climates exist worldwide, but this should not deter your desire to explore the world, discover marvelous cultures, and interact with them. Welcome to Peru and Machu Picchu.

How to book the tour?

To book our tour, we need you to fill out our booking form with your personal information by clicking on BOOK NOW. Please be ready with the following information for each participant in your group, exactly as it appears on your passport: full name, gender, passport number, date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy), and nationality. We cannot purchase an entrance to Machu Picchu or your train ticket without this precise information.

Huayna Picchu Mountain (What is this hike, and how do I book it?)

This iconic Huayna Picchu Mountain is located within Machu Picchu Archaeological Park, towering approximately 300 meters above the citadel. The hike typically takes about 45 minutes to ascend and another 45 minutes to descend. This Mountain preserves fascinating archaeological remains, such as the Moon Temple, and other precincts interconnected by authentic trails, steps, tunnels, and natural caves, making the view incredibly interesting. Without a doubt, this is one of the best attractions of Machu Picchu; the Huayna Picchu Mountain offers a 360-degree view and a stunning panorama of Machu Picchu Inca Citadel, Machu Picchu Mountain, and the famous Inti Punku (Sun’s Gate). Currently, the Peruvian government, through the Ministry of Culture, controls visitor entry, offering only 400 tickets per day, divided into two groups of 200 each (7:00-8:00 AM and 10:00-11:00 AM schedules). Due to high demand, it is necessary to make a booking at least 3 months in advance to guarantee your visit to this extraordinary place.

Important information for your tour

We encourage you to review the following important information carefully. It will help us answer any of your questions about our service and tours in Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Mountain (What is this hike, and how do I book it?)

This majestic Machu Picchu Mountain is also located inside the park, a hike of only 1 hour and 20 minutes on your own. Once you reach the summit, you will capture impressive photos with panoramic views of the entire valley, encompassing Machu Picchu Inca citadel, impressive vistas of the Andes Mountain range, and the glaciers that protect this unique ecosystem. The demand for permits for this hike is growing quickly, so we advise booking tickets a minimum of 2 months in advance, as there is a limit of 200 people per group per schedule (7:00-8:00 AM and 9:00-10:00 AM).

May I change the departure date after the tickets have been bought?

Unfortunately, no. Once the tickets have been purchased, the government does not allow any changes. Tickets are strictly non-transferable and non-refundable. We strongly advise you to confirm your travel dates before booking your Cusco Machu Picchu Tour.
