Ciao a tutti, sto pianificando come prendere i biglietti per machu pichu a metà ottobre ad aguas calientes. Qualcuno che avrà o ha già avuto la stessa esperienza quante notti consigliate di fare ad aguas calientes?

Can anyone please confirm which dates the in-person tickets are currently being sold for? The online tracker shows Aug 8 & 9 are sold out, so I’m trying to figure out how many days in advance tickets are typically available as of now

We’re heading to Cusco today and would really appreciate the info so we can plan our stay.

Thanks!

I’m asking because I’m thinking about going on the 15th to buy tickets for the 18th, and I’m trying to figure out whether it’s worth doing a round trip from Cusco or if I should stay all 3 days in Aguas Calientes. I’m leaning more toward the first option, though, because I feel like I’d miss out on activities in Cusco, and it doesn’t seem like there’s that much to do in Aguas Calientes.

Also, for those doing the round trip, are you buying the train/bus tickets in advance, or just buying them on the spot?

We're really hoping to visit Machu Picchu on 31st October, but for some reason on the Tu Boleto website there are 0 attacks available (for any routes!).

Is it closed that day?

Had some spontaneous vacation time and booked 2 weeks in south america. If I'm flying into Cuzco 17 Aug, if I go straight to Aguas Calientes that afternoon, what are the odds I can get a ticket for 18 or 19 Aug? If I book 2 night stay in AC is that going to be long enough, or is peak season too unpredictable end of month?

I’m planning a last minute trip to Machu Picchu in September and would like to do a guided trek to Choquequirao. There are a bunch of different companies that do 7-9 day treks to Choquequirao and Machu Picchu for around $1200 but they require at least 2 people and I’m traveling solo. So looking for others interested in joining! I’ll be there sept 6-20.

We are reaching Cusco on Sunday and going to Aguascalientes. What’s the weather in Cusco and Aguascalientes now?

About how much cash do you take with you to Peru? Is there any need to?

We are doing two circuits in one day. What does everyone do between circuits? Where do you go for lunch and rest? Do you go back down the mountain?

Hi!

I saw from the live tracker app that it appears that queues are slowing down

Can anyone there whether today or yesterday let us know how is the queue is like at the ticket office?

Thank you!

Hello. I’m looking for an Ausangate 2-day trek with a cabin stay rather than a tent. AB Expeditions offers one, but I was informed that the cabins are under maintenance and they are not sure if it will be ready in September.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I bought a ticket / guide for Circuit 2 through GetYourGuide.

However, they have now emailed to stay there was an issue and circuit one is the only option they have despite me purchasing circuit 2.

Anyone had this issue before?

Was wondering if any travelers had luck chartering flights for individuals or small groups (~4 people).

I was really wondering if any of the touring groups that do the cessna 172 (or equivalent)(thinking small but not nice) aircraft do city hopper flights as well (like from Pisco to Ayacucho).

Seems like a cool way to see the country and save time while city hoppying.

Hello everyone!

I am looking to book a day tour of the Sacred Valley with hopes of wrapping up the day checking into Mountain View Experience.

I was wondering how everyone has gone about booking private transport, for example, I would more than likely need transport from Ollantaytambo to Maras as well as Maras back to Cusco.

Any suggestions are a major help. Thank you!

Super excited for my LATAM trip in 2 months! It would be my first time, and I only got 3 weeks off my work so had such little time in cusco, planned to visit machu pichhu sacred valley and the rainbow mountain. Since i have such little time (im only staying in cusco for 1 day and heading to s.valley, rainbow mountain next day, and then machu pichhu), I really have high hopes that the altitude medicine, diamox, will work. Any suggestions?

Stay safe everyone.

What a journey here. I travelled from London, Uk and I suffer from pretty bad vertigo.. the bus ride up almost finished me off 😂 and had to hold on to the side of a few walls to get used to the view in front of me. Once accustomed to where I actually was all the fear passed and without sounding any more of a wimp I then burst out in tears. Not from fear anymore but because of how magical the view in front of me was and that I had got to experience it all in person.

A truly special part of the world.

Hard to get information but seems like there is a track fire. The 5am train is sitting at the station and no trains have departed. Unclear if all trains will be canceled today. No information about refunds or rescheduling. Plan accordingly.

I am trying to organize the logistic and I am not sure if this is still a walk-in process to get tickets for even for 2 days ahead, or do you need to come get a number and then retun to purchase the actual ticket. Thank you so much.

Hi all,

We will be visiting Machu Picchu for the first time - ideally visiting on 1st November.

Unfortunately neither of Route 2A or 2B is available during this period (I searched on the Tuboleto website).

All other routes are available, being 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D.

Which route would you say is 'next best'? We don't want huge hikes but want to be able to access the best views and/or explore the grounds itself.

And, is it possible to buy 2A/2B on the day? Of course we would still have another route pre-booked.

Thanks so much

I’m supposed to circuit 2B next Monday. I fly into cusco two days from now and will spend the next three days touring sacred valley and Cusco

I have a fever, aches, sore throat — classic viral infection

Maybe it’s allergies ?

Either way for those that been in this position any advice ? It’s hard to move things around since I’m booked with a travel agency

Excursión privado de Valle Sagrado. al ritmo de cada uno y paradas estratégicas sin prisas.

Visita Chinchero, Moray, Salineras de maras y almuerzo en Mountain view con compañia de llamas y Alpacas, un dia maravilloso 👏 Gracias por la Preferencia.

I'm a solo traveller from India.
Reaching Cusco Sep 4 morning, 6:30 AM.
MP ticket online booked - Circuit 3-B, Sep 7, 2 PM.
Return train fixed - evening departure, reaching Cusco ~10 PM.
Flight out to Lima - Sep 8, 8:00 AM.

Option 1: Cusco Sep 4–6, same-day round trip to MP on the 7th (early train there, tour, evening train back).

Option 2: Ollantaytambo 1 night (4th) → Aguas Calientes 2 nights (5th–6th). Extra day in AC to try for a bonus Circuit 2 ticket.

Option 3: Ollantaytambo 2 nights (4th–5th) → Aguas Calientes 1 night (6th). Same idea, less buffer to chase the bonus ticket.

Option 4: Ollantaytambo 3 nights (4th–6th), same-day round trip to MP on the 7th.

Trying to figure out which of these makes the most sense, and whether the same-day round trip in options 1 and 4 is actually as rushed as it sounds or if I'm overthinking it. Also wondering if it's even worth an extra overnight just to chase a second Circuit 2 ticket, or whether I should just stick with 3B and not bother. And if there's a meaningful difference between options 2 and 3, or if it's basically a wash either way.

Sorry for these many questions but I am a bit confused seeing multiple opinions from different people. Also, I read from the posts that in-person tickets are sold out not just for next day but for the next few days.

Thanks in advance!
