Why is it better to stay the night in Aguas Calientes before visiting Machu Picchu?

It’s because this way you can enter Machu Picchu at 6:00 am, the earliest entrance time there is. Also, it’s a more relaxed experience as you spread many hours of traveling in bus and train over two days instead of doing it all at once.

What do I do with my luggage in case I stay in Aguas Calientes before visiting Machu Picchu?

You can leave your luggage at your hotel in Cusco or in the Sacred Valley and only take the most necessary items with you. All hotels offer a free of charge storage service.

Can you include hotels for me as well?

Yes, we include 3, 4 or 5-star hotels for you as well.
