Recommendations – Luggage Instructions for the Train to Machu Picchu
Please bring the same document you submitted to the agency, as the train tickets and entrance to Machu Picchu will be issued with this information.
On all train services to/from Machu Picchu, passengers may only carry hand luggage (a backpack, purse, or briefcase) with a maximum weight of 5kg / 11lb. Your checked luggage will be waiting for you at the selected hotel.
Allowed size: 62 linear inches / 157 cm (height + length + width)
Quantity Weight Size (height + length + width) 1 bag or backpack 5kg / 11lb 62″ / 157 cm
Comfortable and lightweight clothing is recommended for visiting the coastal areas of Peru, while warm clothing is advised for the highland areas. It is not recommended to wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts, or revealing clothes when visiting religious temples or official buildings. Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and mosquito repellent may be very useful during your stay.
Please note that check-in at most hotels starts at 1:00 PM. Guests arriving earlier will be subject to room availability and may have to wait in the hotel lobby.
If the tour is canceled due to weather conditions, do I get a refund?
Tour cancellations due to bad weather conditions are not refundable, as they are factors beyond our control.
If my tour is canceled, is the Machu Picchu entrance fee refundable?
According to the latest policy updates from the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of Cusco (DDC), all entrance tickets to Machu Picchu are personal. Therefore, tickets purchased for Machu Picchu are non-reschedulable, non-transferable to another date and/or person, and non-refundable.
For the train trip to Machu Picchu, what should I do with my luggage? Should I leave it at the hotel or take it with me?
The train company that takes you to Machu Picchu does not allow luggage over 5 kg. This means that most people bring a smaller backpack for the day in Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. If you’re unsure where your larger luggage will stay during this time, you can leave it at your hotel’s storage in Cusco at no extra cost.
Can I choose my seat number on the train?
Peru Rail and Inca Rail, the companies that operate train services to Machu Picchu, do not allow seat selection. Seat assignments are automatically made by the company’s system.
Which train do you recommend to Machu Picchu: EXPEDITION or VISTADOME?
We generally recommend booking the Expedition/Voyager train for the outbound journey and the panoramic Vistadome/360° train for the return trip. This is mainly because the outbound trains only have early departures, which would mean missing the guided visit to the Ollantaytambo archaeological site.
Is Yellow Fever vaccination mandatory?
The Yellow Fever vaccine is not mandatory for travelers visiting Peru, at least not for those exploring the cultural regions. However, it is an additional precaution, especially since Peru is a tropical country—recommended particularly for trips to the Amazon rainforest.
Is travel insurance mandatory?
Travel insurance is not mandatory, but it is extremely important—especially for tourists planning to visit Peru.
Electrical outlets and voltage in Peru?
The standard voltage in Peru is 230 volts. However, some hotels have outlets with 110 volts, in which case there are transformers that reduce the voltage.
What is the best currency to use in Peru, dollars or soles, and where should I exchange?
Most establishments accept payments in both US dollars and soles (Peru’s currency), making these the most commonly used currencies in the country. Ideally, you should carry some US dollars and a smaller amount of soles for purchases at craft markets, for example. It is recommended to bring US dollars and exchange them in Peru at reliable exchange houses recommended by your travel agency.
What is the weather like in Peru?
The country’s climate is divided into two main seasons: rainy and dry.
The rainy season lasts from November to the end of March, while the dry season runs from April to October. In the Cusco and Machu Picchu region, temperatures vary greatly, but typically the maximum reaches around 24°C (75°F) and the minimum can drop close to 0°C (32°F).
In the Lima region, located on the Peruvian coast, temperatures are higher and range between 12°C (54°F) and 35°C (95°F).
