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…

Tour Circuit 1 .. Panoramic … panoramic view of Machu Picchu … only exploration of the upper part of Machu Picchu Not inside Machu Picchu
Tour Circuit 2 .. Classic Circuit … classic view of Machu Picchu and internal visit to a sector of Machu Picchu
Tour Circuit 3 .. Machupicchu Royalty … No classic view of Machu Picchu ONLY internal visit to a sector of Machu Picchu
If you want to climb HuaynaPicchu Mountain, does it have an extra cost?

But if you want to climb HuaynaPicchu Mountain, it has an extra cost of 20 dollars per person,

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

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

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 HuaynaPicchu mountain:
The HuaynaPicchu 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Culture and nature of Machupicchu – Peru Travel:Machupicchu is a World Heritage Site in its two dimensions, cultural and natural. In the cultural field, Machupicchu is an important legacy of the Inca culture and its way of “doing” both at an urban, artistic, architectural, engineering and landscape level.Observing and overcoming vulnerabilities derived from the geography of the territorial enclave allowed it to occupy the place maintaining harmony with the landscape – Cusco – Peru.Today, the culture of the place transcends the archaeological legacy and moves to the dynamics of its consolidation as the main tourist destination in Peru that travel to Machupicchu to discover.First, its economy based on service operators (travel and tourism agencies in Peru) and transport companies on which access depends (Travel to Machupicchu by train, Travel to Machupicchu by car) and which, therefore, work on a monopoly model in Peru Operator.Second, the presence of a significant percentage of floating population and a permanent population, responsible for providing travel services, which is constantly growing due to migration from neighboring rural areas.Third, the synthesis of regional and national cultural plurality that is sold and consumed under the idea and image of Machupicchu (Travel Agency Operator).Finally, the accelerated wear and saturation of services and infrastructure (such as the case of the management and transfer of garbage) product of the occupation of tourists and residents, which has a negative impact on the territory and its environmental quality.In the natural aspect, Machupicchu is located at a meeting point between the Andes and the Amazon, constituting an area of high biodiversity, of worldwide importance.Due to its geography and climate, it is configured as an area with characteristics of “jungle eyebrow”, despite being located within the Andes Mountains.This peculiarity creates an ecosystem with a great variety of endemic flora and fauna.The Natural vegetation includes a large number of tree and shrub species, as well as tree ferns, orchids, bromeliads and mosses – Peru Travel Operator.

For the inhabitants of the Andes (Cusco – Peru), the reverence for the apus, sacred mountains, converted into local protectors, did not go unnoticed in time, thus, mountains such as Salkantay, among others that surround it, assume an important role in the Andean cosmovision.

For example, the snowy Waqay Willke (5720 masl), within the traditional symbology of Andean dual thought, is considered the complement of Salkantay, which is one of the most powerful and active deities of the place,

It is also appreciated by the inhabitants, the father of all the mountains in the region and even today it is the object of great veneration, which is why Machupicchu and Choquechurco maintain intimate visual contact with Salkantay and other snow-capped mountains of the Vilcabamba chain.

Location of the area to Salkantay: It has a political and road pre-Hispanic road Mollepata – Abra Salkantay – Santa Teresa, interconnects the provinces of Anta and La Convencion, specifically the districts of Mollepata and Santa Teresa respectively.

The beginning of the secondary road to Chinchaysuyu is in the province of Anta, district of Mollepata. Salkantay Access Routes:

Access to the Mollepata – Salkantay – Santa Teresa pre-Hispanic road has two entry points: by carriageway and bridle path.

Access through the district of Mollepata is through a paved road that goes uphill, the same one that leaves the diversion of the asphalted trunk road Cusco – Abancay, approximately 11km from the town of Limatambo (Province of Anta).

Access to the beach area (Santa Teresa) is facilitated through two travel routes: the highway and/or the railway line. The first part of the detour of the Cusco – Quillabamba highway, in the town of Santa María, where the highway begins until the District of Santa Teresa;

It continues through a carriageway to the Poblado Playa Center, upstream from the Santa Teresa ravine, heading south.

The second access is through the railway that reaches the Machupicchu Hydroelectric Power Plant, continuing from there through a dirt track to the District of Santa Teresa and from there to the Populated Center of Playa (22 km).

For the conservation of this important Machu Picchu monument, maintenance tasks are carried out on the architectural structures, contemporary structures (handrails, stairs, signage, coverage and others of Machu Picchu) and the treatment of floors.

In turn, within the SHM-PANM, there is an extensive road network of more than 300 kilometers, which articulates more than 60 archaeological monuments. Every year, according to the SHM-PANM Machu Piccho Master Plan, the conservation of 20 of the monuments and 76 kilometers of Inka trail is carried out, distributed in the following routes:

Route travel 01: Piskacucho – Wayllabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu.
Route travel 02: Qoriwayrachina – Wayllabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu.
Route travel 03: Soraypampa – Salkantaypampa – Inkachiriaska – Pampacahuana – Paucarcancha – Wayllabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu.
Route travel 04: Piskacucho -Pacaymayu Bajo – Chachabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu.
Route travel 05: Chachabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu and

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I booked the 3N/4D Salkantay Trek with Okiodoki and let me tell you – we had the best time.

First of all: The Staff was amazing, very kind and super helpful. Alvaro (together with his wife Rosmary owners of Okidoki) replied within minutes to all our questions via whatsapp. A few days before the trek he welcomed us in his office, explained the tour in details and helped me getting over my fear, that the trek might be to hard for me (needless to say: all went perfectly fine and it wasn‘t as hard as I thought). They provided me with hiking poles (30 PEN for the 4 days) and in addition they lent me a daily backpack for free. All the material (duffle bag, sleeping bag, daily backpack) was in perfect condition and the sleeping bag really kept us warm during the cold night at the foot of the Salkantay.

Our guide, Guilleromo, was probably the main reason why we had such good time. He timed the whole trip very well without being too pushy. That means, that everything went as it should and we always met our daily goal according to the timetable. Guilleromo is very kind and helpful. He made sure to keep us safe on the trip and inriched us with his profond knowlege of plants, the mountains, the indigenous community and the incas. Overall you could feel his passion for the nature, the mountains and the local cultur. We couln’d have wished for a better guide. Thank you so much Guilleromo!

Our chef, Roger, prepared delicous meals, which were always right on time. The table was brautifully set and our special needs (vegetarisn or allergies) were always met. Also, the breakfast was a lot richer than I exprected and every day we got something new to try.

Simon, the owner of the three mules, also was very sweet and kind and always a helping hand to Roger and Guilleromo. He made sure that our duffle bags arrived on time and we‘re still impressed how fast he managed to get from one campsite to the other!

Second: compared to other tour companies, the groups at Okidoki are usually small. That allows you to get to know the participants in a more profond way. We happend to be a group of six people and the dynamic within the group was great.

Third: the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Of cours: don’t expect your trip to be luxurious. But keep in mind that you are doing a multiple day trip in the mountains and what they manage to offer, is already  impressive. Particularly the first accomondation is very authentic and allows you to sleep under a sky full of stars with view on the salkantay. All accomondations are clean and you‘ll have a good sleep.

If it‘s in your budget we would recommend to opt for the train to get back to cusco (costs arround 100 USD more). It only takes 4 hours (instead of 7h by van) and you won‘t have to walk additional 10km to the busstation after your visit to the Machu Picchu on your last day. After two hours train you‘ll get picked up by a van/bus to complete your journey back to Cusco.

Overall we would recommend to book a trip with Okidoki for all reasons above and of course the amazing experience of the Salkantay!

Tout était parfaitement organisé : transports, repas, hébergement. Notre guide Guillermo connaissait très bien le terrain et a su nous partager sa passion avec enthousiasme. L’arrivée au Machu Picchu par la montagne restera pour nous un souvenir inoubliable - Je recommande!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with OkiDoki was excellent - Alvaro's organization and booking skills were incredible and we even got to do 2 circuits within Machu Picchu on the 2D/1N Inca Trail rather than just one. He even made it so that it was just us on the tour which made it extra special!

Our guide, Alcides, was truly exceptional and made the experience 10x better and personalised.  I would definitely try to request him if you are doing the Inca Trail with OkiDoki. The lunch we were provided was extremely comprehensive and included many many snacks, so I would not purchase any snacks of your own before going, but definitely bring water!

The hotel we were booked in Aguas Calientes + the included dinner was so-so, but for the price you cannot really complain!

The only downside we had was that Alvaro was sometimes not great at communicating and his emails sometimes made it seem as though he did not full understand what you were saying. You are also meant to pay the remaining cost (bar the deposit) in-person in cash and we organized this, but Alvaro then began hassling us and saying we had not paid in time despite having a discussion with him about when we were going to pay! This made one of our days in Cusco very stressful and we were rushing our day to get back in time to pay Alvaro and once we did he was not even there and made us wait an extra 2h to turn up and accept the payment.

Overall, despite this slightly negative experience, I would still recommend OkiDoki to visit Machu Picchu because of their organization, knowledge of the laws and ticket booking systems, and their database of guides (go Alcides!!!!). Just make sure to complete the payment ASAP when you get to Cusco to avoid issues!

La qualité de l'équipement fourni était très agréable aussi. Nous avons pu adapter le rythme à notre envie et nous avons visité le site avant tout le monde nous permettant d'être seuls! C'était magique

Merci aussi aux chefs qui nous ont régalés pendant ces quatre jours de trek, tout était au top, je ne peux que recommander OkiDoki (petit bonus : les skylodges pour voir les étoiles filantes depuis son lit ;) ! )
