    Peru The power of love and friendship

    First of all, I want to thank all the Peruvians who made our trip special. I will recommend Heidi. She is your friend in a strange land. She did not leave us any time feeling alone and helpless. She was commendable. The whole trip was fine and smooth, and we were happy but when we reached Cusco, the tourism police would not let people go to Machu Pichu even if you had the ticket in your hands. The one and only website of Peru tourism sells the tickets to Machu Pichu, and it never mentions that you will not be given any choice to pick a hike, you will not be allowed to go on a day when you had booked it. So, every day from 4am to 9pm you have to stand in line to get approved by tourism police, then after standing for the whole day you may have to go and repeat standing again in the line from 4am to 9pm and you may be told to enjoy the village and go back, without seeing the Machu Pichu. I was literally crying. We packed our bags, and we were about to leave without seeing the Machu Pichu but then Heidi and her friend got us in.In my opinion Heidi and her friend Giovanna have a good team and they will take care of you. They did for us. Love the Peruvians .

    Response from the operator: Gracias a Dios por tu vida, eres lo mejor porque supiste valorar mi trabajo, porque lo hago con mucho cariño y pasion. Dios te Bendiga Mucho.

    Heidy was waiting for us at the airport and was extremely sweet during the whole trip. She was attentive in answering our calls and questions and had a variety of activities and choices we could choose from for our stay.

    Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days): questions travelers ask

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

    How does Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 46. At $623 it sits above the typical similar option ($45), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.

    Is Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $623, above the $45 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $623 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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) 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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days)?

    +

    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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) 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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days)?

    +

    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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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 Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days)?

    +

    Included: Round Trip bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu; Breakfast; Round Trip Train Expedition; Professional bi-lingual guide; and Entrance to Machu Picchu. Not included: Meals; and Accommodation in Aguas Calientes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 33 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu by Train (2 Days) offered in?

    +
