Booking Machu Picchu is step one of a trip to one of South America’s most consequential archaeological sites. The 15th-century Inca citadel sits on a ridge in the Andes, 2,430 m up, with cloud forest below and snow peaks beyond.

Daily entry is capped, slots are timed, and train seats sell out early — so advance planning matters. Peruways handles the full stack: Ministry of Culture entry, PeruRail or Inca Rail tickets from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, and licensed local guides.

What to think about before booking



  1. Entry tickets: Daily caps mean peak-season tickets (May–September) can sell out weeks ahead. Book early, pick a sensible slot.

  2. How you get there: The classic Inca Trail (4 days, permit-only) or the train plus Consettur shuttle. Peruways arranges both.


Peruways: one booking, every segment


Peruways bundles entry, train, and guide into a single checkout. The site shows real-time availability and detailed itineraries, so a one-day whistle-stop or a week-long Sacred Valley loop both work.

  1. Guided Tours: Licensed local guides walking Circuits 1 or 2 — pick archaeology-heavy, photography-heavy, or nature-heavy as suits.

  2. Transportation: Trains from Cusco (Poroy) or Ollantaytambo along the Urubamba gorge. In Aguas Calientes you grab the 20-minute Consettur shuttle up to the gate, or walk the stairs for free.

  3. Custom Itineraries: A day or a week, Peruways routes it around your interests — Pisac market, Moray, Maras, the Salkantay viewpoint, Hot Springs.
