Preparations

Basic Recommendations for Your Bus Excursion

Advance Entrance Ticket: Reserve your Machu Picchu access ticket several weeks in advance. It is the primary requirement before defining and coordinating your transport schedules.

Light Luggage for Trekking: For the walk to Aguas Calientes, carry only a 20L to 30L daypack with essentials for 2 days. Your heavy luggage can remain in free storage at your hotel in Cusco.

Mandatory Original Documentation: It is essential to carry your original physical passport or ID card to validate transport check-in, entry to the citadel, and hotel lodging.

Comfortable Trekking Footwear: You will walk between 2.5 and 3 hours over gravel terrain. Use athletic shoes or pre-broken-in hiking shoes to prevent blisters.
