IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTE FOR YOUR VISIT TO MACHU PICCHU
MACHUPICCHU TICKETS ARE INCLUDED:

How many circuits are there now in Machu Picchu for your visit ???

For the visit to Machu Picchu there are now 3 different circuits and now it is really complicated for the guides because it is impossible for the guides to be at the same time in all the circuits…

Circuit 1 .. Panoramic … panoramic view of Machu Picchu … only exploration of the upper part of Machu Picchu Not inside Machu Picchu
Circuit 2 .. Classic Circuit … classic view of Machu Picchu and internal visit to a sector of Machu Picchu
Circuit 3 .. Machupicchu Royalty … No classic view of Machu Picchu ONLY internal visit to a sector of Machu Picchu

Which circuit does the guided tour in Machu Picchu include???

The guided tour is only included for the classic circuit or circuit 2. Entry time to Machu Picchu for the guided tour is from 6 am or 7 am. To be able to do this circuit you must book it in advance.

If you want to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain, does it have an extra cost?

But if you want to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain, it has an extra cost of 20 dollars per person, but you lose your guide service in Machu Picchu… Because the guide service includes the normal circuit, which is circuit 2 in Machu Picchu, and the guide cannot be on 10 circuits at the same time.

If I do the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu for 4 days and 3 nights, returning by bus on the last day to Cusco from the hydroelectric plant, do I have enough time to climb Huayna Picchu… ???

With the new government regulation you have time to return by bus that same day, but you will lose your guide service in Machu Picchu because the guide cannot be in 10 different circuits at the same time (but I recommend you return by train so you have enough time to enjoy the mountain or you can also stay one more night in the hostel in Aguas Calientes not included and the next day return to Cusco by bus from the hydroelectric plant included… but it is only a recommendation – okidoki travel peru operator)

How much time do I have to visit Machu Picchu with the normal circuit 2 if I return to Cusco by bus on the last day after my visit to Machu Picchu…???

you have time to return to cusco by bus after your visit to machupicchu if we book the first entry times to machupicchu which can be 6am, 7am or 8am…..because with the new government regulation for the visit to machupicchu you have approximately 2 hours and you can only visit once…

but if we book check-in times to machupicchu after 8am like 9am or 10am you have to return by train or you can also stay one more night at the aguas calientes hostel not included and the next day return to cusco by bus from hidroeléctrica included… …but it is only a recommendation from the okidoki operator.

How much time do I have with the guide in Machu Picchu?

You have 2 hours of information with the guide in Machu Picchu.

How long do I have to walk to get to Hidroeléctrica after visiting Machu Picchu?

From Machu Picchu you have 1 hour of descent to the Machu Picchu bridge and then 2 hours and 30 minutes more of flat walking and following the valley and Urabamba river until reaching the hydroelectric power station; in total it is approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes of walking.

What is the difference between Huayna Picchu mountain and Machu Picchu mountain and how hard is their ascent and descent?

They are two mountain peaks that are strategically located and at different heights in the citadel of Machu Picchu and with totally different views. The Huayna Picchu mountain:
The Huayna Picchu mountain has some Inca constructions and is located at a height of 2,720 meters above sea level and has a duration of 1 hour and 1/2 average of ascent and descent of approximately 1 hour and is the one that appears behind Machu Picchu in its classic photographic postcard; its Inca paths built on one side of the mountain can be intimidating for people who are afraid of heights because they are steep and narrow;
The Machu Picchu mountain: The Machu Picchu mountain does not have any Inca constructions but it has a panoramic view of Machu Picchu and the entire valley and is located at a height of 3,100 meters above sea level and has a duration of 2 hours and 1/2 average of ascent and descent of 1 hour and 30 minutes, it offers less steep, wider trails.

Should I acclimatize before in Cusco to be able to do the Salkantay trek?

In general, for any trek in Cusco it is suggested to acclimatize to the surroundings of the city of Cusco; for this you should arrive in Cusco between 1 to 2 days before doing the Salkantay trek or any other tour of your choice. Remember to take into consideration the season in which you will do your excursion since the climate is mild and the temperature varies at any time; however, it is important to bring a rain poncho among your necessary accessories that you will carry in your light travel backpack if it is for the Salkantay trek.

If I am a vegetarian and I have allergies to some foods, can I do the Salkantay trek?

Of course you can do the Salkantay trek but you have to inform us before the trek so that the cook can take precautions before preparing the food. That is why before your trek we have an informative meeting at the Okidoki office.
