Walking Machu Picchu with a licensed guide is the version most travellers end up wishing they’d booked. The citadel is dense: terraces, water channels, temples, royal residences, a quarry still mid-cut.
Peruways’ guides are Cusco-based, Ministry of Culture-licensed, and multilingual (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian on request). Most are UNSAAC archaeology graduates.
The two-hour guided circuit covers the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana sun-dial, the Three Windows and the Royal Residence. Guides pace the walk for altitude and know which paths each ticket circuit allows under the six-circuit system in place since 2024.
Peruways packages the guide with the train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, the Consettur bus from Aguas Calientes, and a Sacred Valley day for Pisac, Moray and Ollantaytambo if you want it.
Book your Machu Picchu guided day with Peruways once dates are set.
