Important details & Recommendations

Altitude Awareness

Parts of your Machu Picchu day trip take place at high altitude. If you have any concerns, we recommend consulting your doctor before traveling. Staying hydrated and walking at a comfortable pace will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Rainy Season Considerations

From October to April, the rainy season brings misty and atmospheric conditions to the Andes—often creating a magical, cloud-woven backdrop around the peaks. However, visibility may vary, and rain can sometimes affect train schedules. If traveling during this season, we highly recommend extending your visit to two days for a greater chance of clear views.

Cash & Payments in Local Currency

Along the way, you may wish to buy snacks, handcrafted souvenirs, or small extras in local markets, cafés, or shops that do not accept credit cards. We strongly recommend carrying some cash in Peruvian soles for incidental purchases and small tips. Having local currency on hand ensures you can enjoy spontaneous moments without worrying about payment options.

Machu Picchu Mountain & Huayna Picchu

For couples seeking a more active experience, additional hikes such as Machu Picchu Mountain or Huayna Picchu offer breathtaking elevated views of the citadel. These hikes require early-morning entry times, meaning you must spend the night before in Aguas Calientes. Your travel advisor can guide you through availability and timing.

Hiram Bingham Train Upgrade

To elevate your honeymoon experience to the highest level, consider upgrading to the luxury Hiram Bingham train. This iconic vintage-style journey includes gourmet meals, an open bar, live music, and exclusive lounge access at Machu Picchu. Availability is limited, so early reservations are recommended.
