Great value and great service

The tour was great and the organisation was immaculate. The driver and guide were very polite, punctual and informative, the process was easy and the tour operator had a briefing call with us to give us all the timings. They also printed out all tickets for us which made every step go smoothly.

Amazing experience and great staff!

I can not say enough positive things to encapsulate how amazing this company is. They were so communicative and helpful for our trip. We started out in Cusco and they did a private pickup to/from the train station. Coordinated our entry tickets and a private guide for Machu Picchu. Carlos was our planner and walked us through every step and answered every question.

Amazing, well planned trip to Machu Picchu

Our group of 5 did a one day trip to Machu Picchu with pickup from Sacred Valley and drop off in Cusco. Carlos helped us tremendously in organizing the schedule and all needed tickets, and he checked up on us throughout the day to ensure we didn't have any problems. Carlos was extremely responsive and quick to answer any questions, and made us feel comfortable that the trip would go as planned. Our driver Alex and Machu Picchu tour guide Anibal were also excellent.

Excellent experience, highly recommend!

Very happy from all points of view.

I would definitely recommend them.

Machu Picchu with Family

Very good communication for coordinating the tour, competitive price, the guides were very good and fun.

Amazing experience – Highly recommended!

Julio from Come See Peru helped us organize an incredible and truly unforgettable trip. I am German and got married in Peru, so I wanted to bring my friends and family to discover how wonderful this country is. Thanks to Julio and his team, everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end. They took care of every detail and made sure everyone felt welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. Even today, my family and friends still talk about the amazing memories they made during this trip. Visiting Machu Picchu is always a unique and magical experience, but being welcomed with such warmth and genuine care made it even more special. The team was always attentive, making sure everyone was happy and felt at home. Thank you, Julio and the entire Come See Peru team, for making this journey so memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring travel agency in Peru.

Machu Picchu Useful Information

Machu Picchu, one of the new seven wonders of the world, is one of the most fascinating and visited destinations on the planet. This ancient archaeological site built by the Incas is located high in the Peruvian Andes, offering a unique experience for history lovers and adventurers alike. If you are planning a trip to this emblematic place, here we tell you everything you need to know to make the most of your visit.

Where is Machu Picchu Located?

Machu Picchu is located in the southern region of Peru, specifically in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, about 5 hours by train from Cusco. Despite being more than 2,400 meters above sea level, the citadel is located in an area surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation, which gives it a mystical and magical air. The most common way to reach Machu Picchu is through the city of Cusco, which is the main gateway for travelers, you can take a train to Machu Picchu or hike the 4 Day Inca Trail hike from Ollantaytambo.

Machu Picchu Altitude

The citadel of Machu Picchu is located about 2,430 meters above sea level (7,970 feet). This altitude, although lower than Cusco, is a little scary to most tourists, it is important to keep in mind that some people could experience some symptoms of altitude sickness specially headache. Therefore, it is recommended to acclimatize to the altitude in Cusco or the Sacred Valley before heading to Machu Picchu to avoid the effects of soroche (altitude sickness).

History of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu was built by the Incas in the 15th century and is believed to have been a royal residence or religious sanctuary for Pachacutec Inca. The citadel was unknown to the world until 1911, when the American historian Hiram Bingham rediscovered it. Since then, it has captivated millions of tourists from all over the world with its impressive architecture and incredible location.

Despite its historical and cultural importance, the real function of Machu Picchu is still a mystery. Archaeologists agree that it was a religious and administrative center, but it could also have served as a place of retreat for Pachacutec.

The Best Time to Visit Machu Picchu

The weather in Machu Picchu is tropical, but due to its location in the mountains, it has variations in temperature throughout the year. There are two main seasons to consider you are planning to visit Machu Picchu in 2025.

High season (May to September): during this season, the weather is mostly dry, which makes it the best time to visit Machu Picchu. Temperatures are cooler in the morings and evenings and rainfall is less frequent, allowing for a more comfortable experience exploring the ruins. However, since it is the high season, Machu Picchu tickets sell out fast and the site could be super crowded.We recommend booking your Machu picchu Tour far in advance.

Low season (October to April): During these months, rains are more frequent, which can make some trails slippery specially if you are planning to hike the Clsssic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. However, the advantage of traveling in low season is that there are fewer tourists, allowing you to enjoy a quieter experience without crowds.
