Best Machu Picchu Tour Packages 2026: All-Inclusive

To book a Machu Picchu tour package in %currentyear%, the ideal strategy is defined by two factors: advanced planning and the availability of the new circuits. Being based here in Cusco, we know firsthand that regulations have changed to protect the citadel.

• High Season (May to September): You must book 4 to 6 months in advance. This is critical if you are looking for “Circuit 2” (the classic route for the iconic postcard photo) or the Inca Trail.
• ​Low Season (October to March): Usually, 2 months in advance is sufficient. However, for peak dates like Christmas or New Year’s Eve, you must act immediately as permits sell out within minutes of being released.

• Pre-tour information one day before your trip, in Cusco.
• Private transfers from your hotel in Cusco to the Ollantaytambo train station, round trip.
• Round-trip train ticket Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes.
  Round-trip bus ticket Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu.
• Entrance ticket to Machu Picchu on the Classic Circuit 2.
• Professional guided tour in English and Spanish. (Ask about other languages; additional fees apply for private tours only.).

The best route, without a doubt, is Circuit 2 (Route 2-A: Classic Designed).
​

• ​The Postcard Photo: It is the only route that guarantees you access to the terrace where the classic photo that everyone is looking for is taken.
• ​Full Tour: It allows you to visit the largest number of Inca constructions (Temple of the Sun, Main Temple, Intihuatana, Sacred Rock and Temple of the Condor).
• ​Balance: It’s not as physically demanding as climbing mountains, but it’s not as short as scenic routes either.
