FYI

  • Adding extra night In Aguas & additional visit to Machu Picchu
  • Aguas Accommodation: Stay north of river- further away from loud train
  • Decreases your chance of coming all this way and its cloudy
  • Dry Season: May – October (even dry season can get cloudy)
  • Rainy Season: November – April
One day could be very cloudy
Next day very clear

Change of Schedule

  • Need to coordinate with Alpaca or tour company in advance
  • Additional visit= additional permit and changing train ticket back to Cusco
  • Important: timed entry options start at 6am (7am is best)
    • Remember that is for Machu entry and shuttle is earlier
  • Alpaca handles everything: bags, duffle, train & shuttle tickets etc
  • No guide for additional visit or to help get on shuttle
