Recomendação de reserva:
It is highly recommended to book your trek at least 2 to 3 months in advance to secure the best available circuit and ensure a smooth planning process. Due to the trek’s growing popularity, spaces fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. If the circuits are fully booked, the only alternative will be to purchase a ticket at Aguas Calientes, which depends entirely on availability and can be risky.
Since the circuits include entrance tickets to Machu Picchu, early booking is crucial to guarantee your visit to this iconic archaeological site. Delaying your reservation may result in limited access or higher prices, so securing your spot early is the best way to enjoy a worry-free trek.
