Planning your Itinerary for Machu Picchu

When travelling to and/or from Machu Picchu by train, you need to be at the stations 30 minutes before departure. The buses, that operate between the town and Inca site of Machu Picchu, take 20 to 25 minutes each way.

One Day to spend in Machu Picchu

If you only have one day to spend at Machu Picchu, and you want to see the sunrise, then the best option is for you to reserve a train to leave Ollantaytambo the afternoon before and return from Machu Picchu the next afternoon. Contact us for your accommodation requirements in Machu Picchu and for wherever else you wish to stay whilst in the region.

Exchanging money in Peru

When bringing cash, to exchange for Soles in Peru, you must make sure that it is in perfect or excellent condition which means that it doesn't have even the tiniest tears or rips. Also, when receiving cash, other than Soles, make sure it is also in excellent or perfect condition in case you may need to exchange it later for Soles. This is because the banks won't accept such damaged notes and hence neither can the money exchangers who offer a better rate than the banks or airports.
