There are a few things that visitors should take into account to make this a trip that you’ll never forget. The first thing to consider, make your Machu Picchu reservations with time to spare. There are certain times of the year when securing your Machu Picchu permit will be almost impossible.
If you plan on traveling soon than it might already be too late if you haven’t booked your Hikes to Machu Picchu among a few of the other required services such as: permits, accommodations, flights, guides, etc. Let’s go step by step on what items you’ll need in order to make this trip a successful one.
Reserving Flights to Cusco and Machu Picchu
First up we have domestic flights. Depending on the airline prices range from around $140 up to $500/person round-trip. Price heavily relies on how far in advance you’ve booked your flights, whether high or low season, special deals going on, working with Machu Picchu travel agency, etc.
Peru has had a decline in the variety of domestic airlines so there are now basically three companies which dictate the costs. A few years ago a flight from Lima to Cusco and back to Lima could be obtained for around $70, since this is no longer the case booking them in advance will help price conscious travelers quite a bit.
So booking flights 3 or 4 months early can save you a lot of money. Flights to Cusco should usually be booked through an agency though, they’ll have good knowledge of any promotions going on, many times a Machu Picchu travel package will already include domestic flights within the cost. For example, the 7 day Package outlined below already includes flights Lima — Cusco — Lima.
