• Where and when can you choose your preferred time at Machu Picchu?
  • When you’ve made your reservation with us, you’ll automatically receive an email where all important questions about your Machu Picchu day trip, airport transportation and more will be asked. We recommend answering to this email as soon as possible to enable us to start with the coordination of your tickets and ensuring an excellent experience for you.
• What is the Vistadome Train and how can I book it?
  • This train option has a panoramic view due to bigger windows. It differs in price. Per train and person this option has an additional cost of $40 that can be paid via PayPal when the upgrade is confirmed.
  • How can it be booked? In the email mentioned above, you have the option to select this train option as: “no”, “one way” or “both ways”. We’ll then take care of the rest.
• Machu Picchu Mountain and Huayna Picchu option
  • Both are hikes to the mountains that surround the archeological site of Machu Picchu. Please find a detailed comparison here.
  • In case you opt to add one of those two hikes, please contact us first via Whatsapp +51965027736 or info@exploor.pe to help you with the availabilities. The additional entrance fee for either the Machu Picchu Mountain or Huayna Picchu hike is $20. This amount will be added automatically when you choose the preferred option in the dropdown above.
• For the airport pickup, what if my flight has a delay?
  • Please contact us via Whatsapp +51965027736 so the team can check if a postponement of the pickup is still possible. Our drivers are contracted for specific times and if the delay is more than 45 minutes the pickup would be lost. In case our drivers are occupied for a later time, the airline delay will count as a “no show” and you’ll have to organize the transport yourself or pay an extra for the newly coordinated pickup of $15 via email. In case a change is possible, our driver will await you outside of the airport on the parking lot with a sign and your names on it.
  • In the case of flight delays, inconveniences with the train schedule or bad weather (rain, landslides, etc.) we do not assume any responsibility, but your travel insurance most likely will offer coverage for these cases. Please share with your insurance any problems you may experience.
• Transportation for shared groups: Our private driver picks you up on time at your hotel/hostel/Airbnb and brings you safely to the meet-up spot where you enter a shared transportation to Ollantaytambo (same for the way back, all under clear safety and comfort standards for your best).
• The seats in the train are chosen by the train company itself; there is no possibility to influence your seat from our side.
• Changes or upgrades are subject to 1.) availability and 2.) an extra charge as stated in our Terms and conditions.
