Is the Machu Picchu entrance ticket included in the EUR 595 price?

The itinerary description does not specify whether entrance tickets are bundled. Confirm directly with the supplier; Machu Picchu tickets typically add EUR 50–80 to the base package price.

How much altitude climbing is involved, and will I experience altitude sickness?

Cusco sits at 3,400m; the Sacred Valley is slightly lower (2,800m), and Machu Picchu at 2,430m. Most travellers experience mild symptoms (headache, fatigue) on Day 1. Pre-arrival acclimatisation and staying hydrated significantly reduce risk.

Is the train from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu included?

The itinerary mentions travel along the Urubamba River but does not explicitly confirm train inclusion. The scenic railway to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu base) is standard but verify with your supplier.

What is the group size, and will I be with a private guide or a group tour?

The description references guides (plural) but does not specify group capacity. Confirm whether this is a small-group (6–12 people) or private tour; group size affects experience quality and flexibility.

Does this tour support local communities, as mentioned in the description?

The supplier indicates that booking supports social projects; ask for specifics—e.g., which communities benefit, percentage of proceeds, and whether you'll visit community-led initiatives during the Valley portion.

What's included in the accommodation, and are meals provided?

Three nights in central Cusco hotels are confirmed. The itinerary does not specify meal inclusion; confirm whether breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are covered or if you're responsible for additional meals.

Best time to visit

Avoid November–March (rainy season) when cloud cover obscures Machu Picchu and trails become slippery. Early morning departures are essential year-round for sunrise access.
