    Know before you go

    • Specialized infant seats are available
    • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
    • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
    • MANDATORY BOOKING INFORMATION: Immediately after booking, please provide the following details for EVERY traveler: full name exactly as shown on the passport, passport number, date of birth, nationality, gender, and passport expiration date. These details are required to issue your Machu Picchu entrance tickets. Without complete and accurate information, we may be unable to secure your tickets.
    • IMPORTANT – MACHU PICCHU TICKETS: Once your Machu Picchu entrance ticket has been issued, it is non-refundable and cannot be transferred or changed to another date. Please verify your travel date and passport details carefully before booking. A new ticket must be purchased if a different visit date is required.
    • Machu Picchu Circuit Assignment: We always prioritize Circuit 2 when issuing your entrance ticket. If Circuit 2 is unavailable, we will contact you before issuance to explain the available alternatives, such as Circuit 3 or Circuit 1. If only one circuit remains available, we will notify you before proceeding. Book as far in advance as possible for the best chance of securing Circuit 2.
    • Pre-Tour Briefing: Before the tour, your guide or a member of our team will visit your hotel in Cusco to provide a complete briefing with important information about the itinerary, pickup time, train schedules, Machu Picchu visit, recommendations, and any final details. The exact briefing time will be confirmed with you in advance, usually the day before the tour.
    • Vistadome Train Option: This option includes an Expedition train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes and a Vistadome train on the return journey. Due to current train schedules, the Vistadome service is used only for the return, as outbound departure times do not fit the Day 1 itinerary.
    • Tour Schedule: Your pickup time and final schedule will be confirmed one day before the tour and explained during your pre-tour briefing. All pickup, train, bus, and transfer times are organized around your assigned Machu Picchu entrance time, so schedules may vary depending on ticket availability.
    • Original Passport Required: Each traveler must bring the original passport used to issue the Machu Picchu ticket. If you renew your passport before the tour, you must bring both the old passport used for the reservation and the new valid passport.
    • Private Machu Picchu Guide: No matter which tour option you choose, your Machu Picchu visit will always be privately guided exclusively for your booking party.
    • Overnight Luggage: For the overnight stay in Aguas Calientes, we recommend bringing a small backpack with a change of clothes and essentials, or a small carry-on suitcase.
    • Our Commitment: We aim to provide a refined, high-quality experience in every tour option, with careful attention to detail, comfort, and personalized service. Our goal is for you to leave Peru with unforgettable memories and the feeling that every part of your journey was well taken care of.

    Amazing tour and team for our Machu Picchu trip

    I had a really great time in Cusco and Machu Picchu thanks to the team at Machu Picchu Viajes. Right from the trip planning, they had been super helpful in making suggestions and coordinating. Traveling to Peru is a long journey for me, and not knowing Spanish makes the whole planning a bit overwhelming, but Machu PIcchu Viajes team made it super easy and smooth. We joined the 2 day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. The Sacred Valley tour was a group tour, whereas the Machu Picchu tour was mostly on our own, but all the tickets and logistics are explained very clearly to us, so there was not any issues. We also love our guide Paqo whom we learned so much from about Machu Picchu and Incan culture and history from. I'm most impressed and graterful ful the team's dedication and patience. There were some small things during the tour that needs clarification, but the team was always on standby and very quickly help us resolve the issues. We had a very thorough briefing the day before the tour starts with Domingo, who explained everything to us and gave us many tips and advice, and was always checking in during the two days to make sure we're all settled. Big thanks to the Machu Picchu Viajes Peru team and all the guides for making our trip such a memorable one! I would definitely recommend to my friends if they ever want to visit Peru.

    Response from the operator: Reading your review was incredibly meaningful to our entire team. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We know that planning a trip to Peru from far away, especially without speaking Spanish, can feel overwhelming, so it means a great deal to us to know that our team was able to make the process feel smooth, clear, and easy from the very beginning. We are especially happy to hear your kind words about Paqo and Domingo. Paqo will be very grateful to know that you enjoyed learning about Machu Picchu, Inca history, and culture with him, and Domingo will be delighted to know that his briefing, advice, and follow-up helped you feel prepared and supported throughout the two days. We also truly appreciate your patience with the small details that needed clarification during the tour. Being available and responding quickly when our travelers need assistance is something we take very seriously, so your recognition of that means a lot to us. Thank you sincerely for trusting Machu Picchu Viajes Peru with such an important journey. It was a true pleasure to be part of your experience in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. Warm greetings from the entire Machu Picchu Viajes Peru team. We would be very happy to welcome you, your friends, or your family back to Peru in the future!

    Response from the operator: Dear Chris, It was a pleasure to read your review and to know that you enjoyed the entire 2-day journey through the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. We are especially happy to hear your kind words about Brayan. He will be very pleased to know that his explanations helped you better understand the places you visited and the history and culture of the Inca people. Thank you as well for highlighting the scenery and the overall experience. It was a real pleasure to have you with us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

    Machu Picchu expedition

    Sondro was absolutely fabulous! He did a great job guiding us and showing us so many wonderful sites. He was extremely personable and had so much knowledge of everywhere we went. If I did this tour again, I would highly recommend having him as my guide! Jalen was a great driver and we really enjoyed his service. This was a great way to see Machu Picchu and the area surrounding Cusco.

    Response from the operator: We are so glad to know that you had such a great experience exploring Machu Picchu and the surroundings of Cusco. It is wonderful to hear how much Sandro added to the journey. His ability to combine knowledge, personality, and a genuine connection with travelers can make each place feel even more special, and your recommendation of him means a lot. We are also very happy that Hallen contributed to the experience with a comfortable and enjoyable service throughout the trip. Thank you very much for choosing Machu Picchu Viajes Peru. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Peru someday.

    2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train cost?

    +

    Prices start at $510 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 272 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train?

    +

    Around 95 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train?

    +

    Included: Included buffet lunch in Urubamba; Professional guide during the Sacred Valley tour; Lunch; Transportation from Ollantaytambo back to Cusco; and 1 night in a 3-star hotel in Aguas Calientes. Not included: Dinner and meals not specifically listed as included; Optional Huayna Picchu/Machu Picchu Mountain: ticket, subject to availability; itinerary m; Optional buffet lunch in Aguas Calientes (upon request); and Personal expenses.

    +

    What languages is 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2-Day Sacred Valley & Private Machu Picchu Tour with Train wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
