DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIP

Visiting Machu Picchu is the dream of many travelers, and if you are looking for a last-minute 2-day Machu Picchu Tour, it is still possible to make it happen. Due to high demand and the limited number of daily entries, many visitors who arrive in Cusco with little time end up missing the opportunity to visit this Wonder of the World. Don’t worry! We offer you an ideal option for last-minute reservations, and we explain the process below.

Access to Machu Picchu is regulated by the Ministry of Culture, which makes around 1,000 tickets available daily for on-site purchase exclusively in the town of Aguas Calientes (one day before entry). This option allows you to buy your ticket directly by presenting an official ID (passport or national ID). It is important to keep in mind the following:

  • Ticket purchase is personal.
  • Tickets are sold only at the official point in Aguas Calientes.
  • The ticket must be purchased the day before your visit to Machu Picchu.

We will assist you in this process as a complement to the usual booking. Below, we present the detailed itinerary.
