Important Facts - Tours Machu Picchu by Train Full Day
**Important points:
CONDITIONS FOR MAKING A RESERVATION AND CANCELLATIONS
to make your reservation you need the exact date of your salkantay trek departure because there are no changes or cancellations
RESERVATION MONEY DEPOSIT
To confirm your reservation and your participation in the treks, you need to make a deposit.
This deposit is to reserve all your trek services and, most importantly, the purchase of the Machu Picchu ticket (the Machu Picchu ticket is personal, it cannot be canceled or change date, or transfer to another person )
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations and date changes are not accepted, you simply lose your deposit, there is no refund.
your deposit is not for our pocket ( It is to buy the Machu Picchu tickets and these tickets cannot be cancelled).
And it is for the organization of a good trek in okidoki and to have this good organization you have to make advance reservations of all the services that you are going to have during the 4 or 5 days of your trekking and these reservations are made with deposits so as not to have inconveniences or last minute cancellations from our suppliers
and if we cancel these reservations we lose our deposits because this is not a game and by making a reservation with our service providers for the trekking we are blocking spaces that they can simply give to other tour operators who also need it.
WHAT REQUIREMENTS DO YOU NEED TO OPTAIN THE STUDENT DISCOUNT?
THE ISIC CARD IS NOT VALID BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT FOUND FAKE COPIES… AND IT IS ALSO NOT VALID, CERTIFICATIONS, DOCUMENTS, NOTE FROM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, INTERNSHIPS, ETC.
If you are a student, the discount is 20 dollars but you must have a card from your university with the current date (2025 or 2026) not 3 or 4 years later (not 2027 or 2028). Yourimage.
The name of your university.
We need the copy of your original passport and your student card to show it to the government and he will say if it is valid or not because the discount is for the entrance of the Machupicchu and not for our trek.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
you have to take your original plastic (PVC) student card, not cardboard or paper for your salkantay trek because if you don’t have it your ticket will not be valid and you will have to buy another ticket it is a problem because if there are no spaces you will not visit Machupicchu (you must be 25 years old or younger)…
If you do not have this original card or this information on your student card that the government requires, I recommend you buy a normal adult ticket to avoid problems because we will not be responsible for this…
If you have this information and the requirements as a student, send them immediately (it is not valid if you send them after confirming your reservation) to present them to the government and the government approves them whether you are a student or not…
FAQs - Tours Machu Picchu by Train Full Day
FAQs: Tours Machu Piccho by train – Quick Answers to Your Machu Picchu Tour Questions
1. How far in advance should I book my tours Machu piccho?
Honestly, you’ll want to book your tour at least 2 to 3 months in advance. We’re not just saying that—the train tickets and entrance passes to Machu Picchu are limited and they sell out super fast, especially during the high season!
2. What’s the best time of year to visit Machupicchu?
The dry season, from May to October, is a favorite for a reason. You’ll get plenty of sunshine and minimal rain, which is perfect for photos! Just know that it’s also the most crowded time.
On the flip side, the rainy season (November to April) has fewer tourists, but you should be prepared for some unpredictable weather.
3. What’s the physical fitness level for this tours Machupicchu?
The great thing about this tour is that it’s a breeze! Since you’re traveling by train, there’s no strenuous hiking involved. You’ll only be walking within the citadel itself, so it’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
4. Should I worry about altitude sickness?
It’s smart to be prepared! Cusco is at a high altitude, so we highly recommend arriving at least a day or two before your tour.
Just take it easy, drink plenty of water (and maybe some coca tea!), and avoid heavy meals at first to acclimate.
5. What should I pack for the tours Machupicchu?
Think of it this way: you’re going to need your original passport (don’t forget this—it’s essential!), comfortable clothes you can layer, a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and a rain jacket.
A reusable water bottle and your camera are a must-have, too!
6. What does this full-day tour include?
Basically, we’ve got you covered on all the essentials! Your tour includes hotel pickup, all your tickets for the train and buses to Machu Picchu, your entrance fee, and a professional guide to show you around. Just remember that things like meals and personal expenses aren’t included.
7. Do I need my passport for the tours to Machupicchu?
Yes, this one is a big deal! You’ll need your original, valid passport for both the train journey and to enter Machu Picchu. Seriously, they won’t let you in without it, so make sure you have it with you.
