- IMPORTANT. The Machu Picchu authority requests: full name, passport number, date of birth and nationality, to issue the entry. At the time of booking please provide these details correctly as shown on your passport.
- The daily entrance capacity to Machu Picchu is strictly limited and regulated by official shifts every hour from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., so we recommend booking in advance to ensure availability in this wonder of the world; our 2-day tour prioritizes the most requested times between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., ideal for lower influx and better conditions for panoramic photographs, and in case there is no availability in that range at the time of confirmation, Travel Cusco G will automatically manage the next available official time, guaranteeing your confirmed entry and an organized and safe experience in the emblematic Inca citadel.
- Official tickets to Machu Picchu are allocated strictly according to the availability in force at the time of booking, so we recommend confirming your Machu Picchu Tour from Cusco at least 3 to 4 months in advance to ensure Circuit 2, considered the most complete and requested to include the main archaeological sectors and the classic panoramic view; due to the high demand and limited daily capacity, if Circuit 2 is sold out, Circuit 1 will be automatically managed as an authorized official alternative, guaranteeing its confirmed entry and an organized and memorable experience in the Inca citadel.
- Before your Machu Picchu Tour from Cusco, an official representative of Travel Cusco G will contact you one day in advance to coordinate the briefing (briefing), which can be held in the lobby of your hotel or in our offices located in the Historic Center of Cusco, as previously agreed; during this personalized session we will provide a detailed map with the step-by-step itinerary, key recommendations to optimize your visit to Machu Picchu and all official tickets included in the program (tickets, train and bus), ensuring professional organization, transparency and a fully confirmed and smooth experience.
- For your stay in Aguas Calientes (hometown of Machu Picchu), we recommend carrying only a small backpack or carry-on baggage with what you need for the night, which will allow you to travel comfortably on the train to Machu Picchu; the main baggage can be left safely at your hotel in Cusco, as most accommodations offer storage service at no extra cost, and if you prefer, Travel Cusco G can also safeguard your belongings in our office, guaranteeing a practical, organized and worry-free experience during your tour to Machu Picchu.
- To make the most of your 2-day tour, we recommend wearing sunglasses, comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for hikes in archaeological sites, hat or cap for sun protection, blocker, insect repellent and a lightweight jacket for climate changes in the Andean area; it is also ideal to carry a small backpack with what you need to spend the night in Aguas Calientes, and during the rainy season (December to March) include waterproof clothing or poncho to ensure a comfortable experience when visiting the majestic Machu Picchu.
- With regard to accessibility, we offer the option to take your 2-day private tour at additional cost to provide greater assistance and flexibility to passengers using wheelchairs; however, it is important to consider that due to the mountainous geography and original stone structure of the Machu Picchu citadel, not all areas and archaeological circuits are fully accessible, so we recommend contacting us in advance to evaluate the best alternatives and ensure a safe, organized and adapted experience to your needs.
- Our 2-day tour is operated in small groups of up to 10 travelers, ensuring a more organized, comfortable experience with better interaction with the professional guide; during the off-season, the group can be even more exclusive, with only 4 participants, allowing a more personalized service, more time for photographs and closer attention at each stage of your visit to Machu Picchu, ideal for those seeking quality, tranquility and a premium experience in one of the most iconic destinations in the world.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does 2-Day Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train cost?
+
Prices start at $509 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley 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 Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by 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 Sacred Valley is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by 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 Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by 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 Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train?
+
Around 1 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Tour from Cusco: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley?
+
On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Private Professional Guide in Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu 2Day Tour by Train from Cusco with Overnight Stay. 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 Sacred Valley?
+
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 Sacred Valley?
+
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.
