Helping You Make the Most of Your Machu Picchu Packages

So you’ve researched the history, checked out the locations, and simply can’t wait to visit Machu Picchu? But, before you browse through Machu Picchu packages and finally make a booking there are a couple of things you should take care of. In this blog, we’ve put together a short list of points to remember before you book either of the Machu Picchu packages available online, so that you get to make the most of your holiday.

While the best season to book your Machu Picchu packages is between June and August so that you can fully savor the hiking and sightseeing experience, it also tends to get crowded around this time. This dry season attracts tourists from around the world, as the clear skies and charming trail take on a more appealing avatar. However, since the permits for hiking along the Inca Trail as well as train tickets to the base of the Inca ruins, Aguas Calientes tend to sell out during the dry season; it always makes sense to take you final call on which of the Machu Picchu packages work best for you well in advance.

When sifting through Machu Picchu packages to take a final call, do remember to look for one that offers the services of a guide. While most travelers prefer to explore destinations on their own, one cannot truly enjoy their visit to Machu Picchu without hiring a travel guide because this archeological site does not feature any signposts or information hubs. So, unless you are an expert on Inca history, a travel guide becomes a must-have during your visit.

We feature a host of Machu Picchu packages on our website that are tailored to suit the needs of luxury travelers to backpackers. A simple call to one of our online advisors and we can also make sure to create a package that features all your favorite destinations, at a budget that better suits your pocket.
