Here some frequently asked question about our day tours in Cusco

BOOKING SYSTEM

At Machu Picchu by Locals, we try to make the best of our booking system work as easily as possible for you. Once you decide to do some of our day tours, we will send to you a booking form where you need to complete all the required details that we need to book your tickets. We need a previous deposit of 50% of the price per person. Once you pay it, we immediately book a spot for this tour. Once we are done with it, we will send you your invoice and confirmation form that all the booking process has been set up satisfactorily.

IS MACHU PICCHU BY LOCALS TEAM CONTACTING US BEFORE DEPARTING TO MACHU PICCHU?

Yes, our work policy is to be in contact with our customers as long as necessary to inform them of all the details and changes that could occur after they have confirmed the reservation. Please, you, ask to check your e-mail constantly, and also if you have some issue, let us know to solve it as soon as possible.

WHERE TO STAY IN CUSCO?

Cusco is a big enough city to find different categories of hotels, from 2 stars to 5 stars. Also, there are Airbnb places where you can stay without any problem. Cusco streets are narrow, especially near to the main square, and some streets are pedestrian with some stairs. We will send you a notification for the pickup if it is not possible to access with our car and arrange another place to pick you up and drop you off. Also, the night before your tour, you will meet with your tour guide, who will tell you all the details about the tour. In case you want some recommendations, please ask the Machu Picchu by Locals sales team.

ALONG THE TOUR

ARE THERE BATHROOMS OR PUBLIC TOILETS ALONG THE TOUR?

Yes, our car will stop in some places where you can use the restroom (toilets). Also, in the restaurants you will find these; if you need it as an emergency, just let your tour guide know to stop in the nearest bathroom.

HOW CHALLENGING IS THE TOUR?

Well, our Machu Picchu 2-day tour is not challenging; this 2-day tour is well recommended for families with kids and old people who want to experience a guided tour in Machu Picchu. However, we highly recommend arriving in Cusco a few days before departing on the tour. Keep in mind Machu Picchu sits at 2,430 meters above sea level.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET ALTITUDE SICKNESS?

No worry, our guides and team are professional, and they know how to solve this kind of problem. Your guide will have a first aid kit all the time with some medications for these and an oxygen balloon in case you need it. The Machu Picchu Tour 2 Days is very flexible; along the route you’ll find some pharmacies and a local hospital.

DO YOU NEED HIKING BOOTS?

Well, this is not mandatory, because you won’t walk long distances, but we highly recommend hiking shoes with ankle support, which will prevent any issue. Along the Machu Picchu tour you’ll walk up and down on these stairs, which some days could be slippery or gravelly.

SHOULD I USE WALKING STICKS?

If you have any disability, the local authorities will allow you to use these walking poles; otherwise, these are restricted to use in the archaeological sites.

WHERE DO I STORE MY LUGGAGE?

In case you have extra luggage that you do not need to bring to the trail, all the hotels in Cusco have storage where you can leave your luggage completely free. If you will change your hotel after the trek, we have available our storage in the Machu Picchu by Locals office; get more info from our office team.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AS FAR AS WEATHER

The weather in the Cusco region and parts of the Andes is unpredictable; even if the weather forecast says it’s sunny, we can’t trust in it. It is an impossible question for us to answer. Historically, April through September is the dry season, November through February is the rainy season, and March and October are bridge months, a mixture of both. But the clouds have not followed these rules in the last few years. Prepare for sun and rain no matter when you come. As far as temperatures go, that is consistent throughout the year. Mornings and evenings are always cold. Make sure to bring a fleece jacket for the mornings and a down jacket for the evenings. Once the sun is up you should be comfortable hiking in short sleeves. Long pants (yoga or hiking) are encouraged to help from the mosquitos which can be a nuisance in some part of the trail.

From: USD 345.00 per person

* Options to upgrade your returning train to Vistadome service (with larger windows and more comfortable seat) $60US per person
