Types of Machu Picchu Guided Tours

Machu Picchu sits at the top of numerous bucket lists, and tourists are needed to enter with an official visit guide in groups. Entry is allowed in either an afternoon or a morning time slot and is limited to around four hours. To tour the whole day, visitors must obtain two entry tickets. Those short of time often stopover at the prehistoric ruins on a day outing by train from Cusco, however, the four-day trek alongside the renowned Inca Trail is an alternative. Some multi-day tour alternatives also stopover other regional attractions, such as the Amazon rainforest and Lake Titicaca.
