4. We want to take the tour included Wayna Picchu or Machu Picchu mountain, do we have enough time to do it on the same day tour of Machu Picchu?

Yes, you have the option to choose an early train, and you can do the hike to some of the two mountains, these hikes last 2 or 3 and 1/2 hours, then, you can go out to use the toilet or eat something and rest, then you can start the guided tour around the citadel (Around 2 hours) until 14:00 hrs. Then you will have free time to continue exploring on your own, the park is open until 5 pm. You will have like 10 hours to be there, the train departure to return is at 19:00 hrs.

5. How about my luggage, can I take all my staff?, or where can I store it?

As this tour is only for 1 day, we recommend taking only small backpacks because there are restrictions to take on the train, and also all the streets in Aguas Calientes have only pedestrian access. The rest of your stuff you can be stored at your accommodation in Cusco, All the Hotels have storage if you book the night for your way back, you can leave your stuff there, another option is that you can leave your stuff in our office, in the two options you don’t need to pay anything extra.

6. How about the altitude, are we going to pass by other places higher than Cusco?

Cusco city is located at 3350 masl. (10990 Ft.) the only place higher than Cusco is Chinchero area 3750 masl. But you will only pass by car, then you will descend to Aguas Calientes 2050 masl. Machu Picchu is located at 2450 masl (8038 Ft.); we always recommend having at least one day in Cusco to acclimatize; altitude sickness is very different for everyone, sometimes you don’t have any problem.
