The trail and views are spectacular, the hotel is really nice and the food too! I d recommend to do a few months of training before this trail, as the main difficulty is the high temperature, high altitude and high humidity. Would most definitely recommend it!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed this trip of a lifetime with MP Viajes Tours! Practically speaking, the tour team excelled in pre trip communication, met us the day prior to finalize our itinerary, and our guide Juan Carlos demonstrated inexhaustible knowledge of everything from local plants to Inka history to construction methods. Literally could not find a question to ask that didn't produce a deep, thoughtful, and thorough response. We learned so much. Our tour operated seamlessly in English, but our guide patiently helped me build my Spanish skills along the way. Additionally, the entire team at MP Viajes is made up of local cusqueño guides. Our selection of this group supported…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 70 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $597

Travel from Cusco through the Sacred Valley by train, sleep one night in Aguas Calientes, then enter Machu Picchu early with a private English- or Spanish-speaking guide. You get a two-hour citadel tour, free time afterward, buses, breakfast, entrance, and return transport. Guide Ronal has also helped visitors with photos and site orientation.

“Our guide was fantastic. If it wasn't for him, it would receive 2 stars. We were very unhappy with the accommodations in Aguas Caliente. There was mold all over the bathroom, stains on the sheets, and hair in the sheets. We asked twice for the linens to be changed and they did not improve. I felt an overall feeling of disgust. The upgrade in the ticket we purchased for the train was unimpressive and not worth the money. Machu picchu was, of course, incredible. We paid extra for the private guide and this was well worth the money.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $549

Spend two busy but well-planned days exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu from Cusco. A private guide and vehicle take you to Chinchero, Moray, and the Maras Salt Mines before an Expedition train to Aguas Calientes. You’ll tour Machu Picchu early the next day, then return to Cusco by train and van.

“This was a fantastic way to experience both the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in just two days. Pickup was on time at 8:00 AM, and the entire itinerary ran surprisingly smoothly despite how much ground we covered. Day 1 was filled with highlights: Moray and the Maras Salt Mines were absolutely stunning — scenic, peaceful, and not overly crowded. Chinchero was the only part that felt a bit commercial. The weaving demo was informative, but there was pressure to buy, and unfortunately, my girlfriend was charged significantly more for the same item I was offered at a discount. The train to Aguas Calientes was basic (bare minimum tier), and…”

The tour includes entrance arrangements, trains, transport, and support from Mega Expeditions, with staff such as Carlos and Nixon involved in trip planning.

“This was the trip we bought from Viator when they last-minute-cancelled our original trip to Machu Picchu with them. We booked with them from London. We then based everything around it: Buying our flights to Cusco from Lima. Our trains, our accommodation. and plans. We were so excited. The night before our trip to Machu Picchu I saw a notice on my calendar and checked it out. To my amazement, it was a ‘cancelled’ line through my diary entry of Machu Picchu. I actually thought it must be a mistake. I contacted Viator only to discover they really had cancelled our booking, apparently due to being unable to obtain tickets…”
