  • Bring any necessary personal medication for the experience (regular treatments and, if applicable, medical prescriptions).
  • Protect yourself from the sun by using sunscreen, a hat or cap, and sunglasses; at high altitude, UV radiation is intense even on cloudy days.

Travel Rules and Recommendations

  • Follow the guide’s instructions at all times, especially during the visit to Machu Picchu and at the panoramic train stations.
  • Respect the natural environment and cultural traditions, including any ceremony of gratitude to the Pachamama and other ritual moments.
  • Keep your personal belongings secure and avoid displaying money, jewelry, or valuable items during the experience.
  • Walk carefully, as natural trails and archaeological areas may have uneven terrain, stones, or slopes.
  • Do not separate from the group; if you wish to stop to take photos or stay at a specific point, coordinate it in advance with the guide.
  • If you experience altitude discomfort, lose an item, or have any emergency, inform the guide or our assistance team immediately.

Amazing! We had the most incredible experience on a Machu Picchu tour with our guide, Yeni, and I cannot recommend it enough. Yeni was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of Machu Picchu but also incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire journey. Her passion for the site was evident in every detail she shared, making the experience both educational and inspiring. The tour was excellently organized, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable day despite its length. We were picked up promptly and comfortably, and all transportation was seamlessly arranged, allowing us to focus on soaking in the breathtaking views and rich history. The weather was perfect, adding to the overall enchantment of the day. If you’re planning a trip to Machu Picchu, I highly recommend booking a tour with Yeni. Her expertise and warm personality will make your visit unforgettable, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for this iconic destination.

Conociendo la majestuosidad de Machupichu Yeni, nuestra guía en el recorrido del Majestuoso Machupichu, fue una persona muy amable, atenta y cercana. Nos ayudó a comprender cada detalle de la experiencia y supo transmitirnos sus conocimientos sobre nuestros antepasados incas de una manera clara, amena y llena de sensibilidad. Fue un verdadero placer contar con su acompañamiento. Nos regresamos con el corazón lleno y con muchas ganas de volver, siempre recordaremos con cariño esta hermosa experiencia y todo lo que aprendimos y sentimos durante el recorrido. Estamos profundamente agradecidos contigo, Yeni, por compartir con pasión tus conocimientos y agradecidos a la Pachamama por permitirnos vivir un momento tan especial y significativo. Será un hasta pronto….🫶🏻🌟💕🫶🏻
