Excellent, safe, and fun experience! Everything from start to finish was perfect! The communication between Diego/the company and I was seamless. My guide, Rumi, was absolultely wonderful! I went to Peru on my own, and wanted to ensure a safe, easy experience-Cusco Native definitely delivered!
We had a fantastic trip to Cusco. Our guide Marco was excellent. He was very informative and gave excellent historical background of the places we visited. He was also patient with our slower pace. The itinerary was very well planned.
We booked our Peru trip through Cusco Native and Leidy was great help. We had millions of questions and adjustments and changes to our travel plan and Leidy at Cusco Native was very patient and helpful. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about visiting Machu Picchu:
All international visitors are required to present a valid passport in order to enter the ruins. Additionally, you will need your Machu Picchu entrance ticket. The entrance tickets are limited and sell out fast, so they must be purchased in advance. This can be done online, in Cusco, or via our guided tour packages.
Tickets must be purchased in advance through the official government website or through a trusted tour operator (like us). When you book a tour with us, we handle all the logistics—entrance tickets, permits, and more—so you can relax and focus on the adventure.
Machu Picchu has daily visitor limits, and tickets can sell out quickly—especially during the high season (May to September). We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 months in advance for regular visits, and 4 to 6 months ahead if you’re planning to hike the Inca Trail, as trail permits are limited and highly competitive.
No, there are no age restrictions — all are welcome at Machu Picchu! Note that strollers are prohibited on site.
May to October offers dry skies, sunny trails, and postcard-perfect views—but it's also the busiest time. The rainy season (November to April) brings fewer crowds and lush, mystical landscapes. Want the best of both? Try shoulder months like April or October. We’ll help you time it right based on what matters most to you.
The standard guided tour lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours, following regulated circuits. If you choose a mountain hike, additional time is added depending on the route.
There are several types of entry tickets, including access to the citadel only or options that include Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain hikes. We’ll help you choose the best one based on your interests, fitness level, and availability.
You can choose between Expedition, Vistadome, or luxury services like the Hiram Bingham. Each offers a unique onboard experience. We’ll help you select the right option based on your travel style and budget.
Yes. One of our expert, English-speaking guides will meet you in Aguas Calientes and accompany you throughout the visit, bringing the site’s history—and mystery—to life.
