This is a good alternative to visit Machu Picchu, combining bus and train. It is accessible at any time of the year, and especially during the high tourist season, when train services cannot cope with demand. That is why we go on the new route, on the paved road Cusco / Quillabamba, passing through the villages of the Sacred Valley, the Pass of the Mountain of Abra Málaga (4,350 masl), the highest point of the itinerary, to get off and get to Santa Teresa, following a short stretch of road, to the train station in Hydroelectric, and from there, continue by train to Machu Picchu, for only 10 kilometers. But before that, we will have enjoyed the delights offered by the medicinal thermal baths of Cocalmayo, in a true natural paradise.

BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N: questions travelers ask

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

How much does BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N cost?

+

Prices start at $240 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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N 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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N?

+

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 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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N 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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N?

+

Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 10 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N offered in?

+

It is offered in Portuguese, English, Italian 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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N?

+

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 BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+

The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

What happens to BY CAR to Machupicchu - 2D / 1N if the weather is bad?
