Who we work with
GetYourGuide. Every tour and ticket link on VisitMachuPicchu.com goes to GetYourGuide, and we are a registered affiliate partner. When you book after clicking one of our links, GetYourGuide pays us a percentage of their commission. Your price is unchanged.
Trip.com. Accommodation links on our where to stay page go to Trip.com. Where an affiliate relationship is in place, we may earn a commission on completed stays, again at no additional cost to you.
What we are not
We are not the official Machu Picchu ticket office and are not connected to Peru’s Ministry of Culture, the railway companies or the bus company. We explain how to buy from them directly, and say so when that is the cheaper option.
What this does and does not change
- It does not change your price. Affiliate commission comes out of the platform’s margin, not your booking.
- It does not buy a ranking. No operator or hotel can pay to appear on this site or to be ranked higher on it.
- It does not stop us being critical. We say when a day trip is rushed, when a listing has weak reviews, and when booking direct is better.
- It does fund the site. Research, hosting and keeping information current are paid for entirely by these commissions. There is no advertising.
How we choose what to recommend
Tours are ranked on how much of the site you see, the quality of guiding and logistics, value for money and what reviewers say afterwards. Ratings and review counts are taken directly from GetYourGuide and re-checked regularly. Accommodation is selected on guest scores and location, using data from Trip.com.
Prices and accuracy
Any prices mentioned on this site are indicative and can change at any time. The price you see on the booking platform at the moment of purchase is the one that applies.
