    They are LIARS!!!

    Terrible. We paid the full price for 3B circuit 3 months in advance. Two days before our date they bought our tickets. The only got us 3A so that we couldn't climb Huayna Picchu. Do NOT trust them.

    Perfect

    Juel Condori was an amazing tourguide, I would recommend him to everyone. We stopped at every interesting spot, he showed us everything very detailed, and he told the whole history of Machu Picchu in a really interesting way with pictures and everything.

    Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 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 Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 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 Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu?

    +

    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 Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu?

    +

    Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu 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 The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. 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.

    What is included in Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu?

    +

    Included: Entrance tickets (Machu Picchu + waynapicchu). Not included: Hotels; bus tickets; Guided; and Train tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu?

    +

    The experience starts at Machupicchu, Machu Picchu, Peru. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu?

    Is Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Entrance to Machu Picchu and Ascent to Huayna Picchu if the weather is bad?
