    Asked on August 7th, 2026

    Can u help me to arrange this?

    Tour Details
    • Alpaca ExpeditionsOperatorWritten August 2026

      At the moment, we do not have permits available for that date. However, there is a possibility of requesting a Circuit 3B through the ticket release that takes place 48 hours before the visit date, although this is always subject to availability. If we are able to obtain it, confirmation of this circuit would only be received during your trip, approximately on Day 1, once the corresponding availability is released.

  • T

    Tiffany

    Asked on February 17th, 2026

    I am interested in this tour for 3 adults, however we already have a place booked in Cusco so we don't need a Cusco hotel as part of this tour. We only need two rooms in Aguas Calientes (2 adults in one room, 1 adult in the other room) for the night of April 23. What would be the tour cost with these changes?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Alpaca ExpeditionsOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding the date you mentioned, we can confirm availability only for this tour with Circuit 1, which covers the panoramic area of the site. This circuit will allow you to take the classic "postcard" photo of Machu Picchu, but it will not permit access to the other internal areas of the site, as for that date the full tickets within the main circuit are completely sold out.

    • T

      Tiffany

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      We have a little flexibility in our schedule. Are full tickets available for the day before? Also, are there full tickets available for any days of that week?

    • Alpaca ExpeditionsOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding your travel date, I'm afraid there is no availability for full tickets. At the moment, only the secondary circuits are available. This is mainly because these dates are considered high season, and the main entrance tickets usually sell out well in advance due to high demand. If you would like, I can help you check other dates with better availability.

  • M

    Monique

    Asked on September 26th, 2025

    1. On Day 1, does the tour begin at 8 am or at 1 pm? The tour description shows both. 2. Is it possible to get twin beds in the hotel rooms? 3. Is it possible to have hotel room with NO feathers? I am very allergic to feathers/down. 4. If our flight arrives at 12:45 am, should we book a hotel room for an extra night? If so, should I do it through you to ensure we will be at the same hotel as the rest of the group?

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      We would be interested in a hotel room for the night after the tour also. Please provide a quote.

    • Alpaca ExpeditionsOperatorWritten September 2025

      - Tour start time on Day 1: On Day 1, the tour begins at 1:00 p.m.
      - Rooms with two single beds: Yes, this option is available; in fact, it is the configuration that is generally offered.
      - Room without feathers/duvets: This depends on your confirmation. Once you let us know your request, we will ensure that your room is prepared according to your needs.
      - Arrival at 00:45 and additional night reservation: It is important to mention that you will indeed need to book that additional night, as hotel policies require this to access your rooms so early. Regarding whether this night should be booked through us, that depends on your preference. We have contacts with hotels of 3-star category and above, so if you wish, we can provide the approximate costs per person to help you decide.
