Important remarks
- Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in Peru.

- Generally in Peru the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- There's a limit of visitors per day for Machu Picchu and for Huayna Picchu. That's why it's important to have the details required for buying tickets as far in advance as possible (full passenger name, passport number, date of birth, and nationality), as the only way of guaranteeing admission is by buying these tickets. If we do not have the passport data from the date of booking confirmation, entry to Machu Picchu is not guaranteed.
