What is the luggage limit allowed on the bus along the Amazon Route?

Each passenger is entitled to carry one personal hand item for the cabin and a travel backpack or small hold suitcase (carry-on style) with a maximum weight of up to 15 kg.

Can I bring a large or rigid wheeled suitcase to Machu Picchu?

It is not recommended. To guarantee sufficient trunk space and avoid discomfort during the walking segment to Aguas Calientes, passengers are required to travel only with flexible backpacks or carry-on suitcases. Bulky suitcases are left in free storage at your hotel in Cusco.

Where do I place my valuables during the bus journey?

Your daypack travels with you in the cabin. Our tourist units have designated spaces designed to keep laptops, cameras, documents, and chargers comfortably and securely at hand.

Key Travel Recommendations

Leave Bulky Luggage in Cusco or Ollantaytambo The walk from Hidroelectrica Station to Machu Picchu Pueblo follows a mostly flat route alongside the railway tracks, but the gravel surface can make it difficult to pull large wheeled suitcases. We recommend leaving luggage over 15 kg or other bulky bags with your hotel’s luggage storage service in Cusco or Ollantaytambo, which is generally free of charge. Travel to the cloud forest with only what you need for your visit.

Additional or Special Luggage If you are traveling with large professional photography equipment, instruments, or luggage outside the standard allowance, please contact us in advance to check luggage compartment availability and ensure there is enough space for your group.
