Discover Peru with a local operator

Cusco is our starting point — not a stop on our list.

Machu Picchu Today was born in Cusco in 2017 with the desire to offer more than a tour: a thoughtful, culturally deep way to experience Peru.

We operate directly from the destination, with a local team and specialized guides. Each itinerary is shaped with care, real territorial knowledge and the kind of hospitality that turns a tour into an unforgettable journey.

From the logistics of the tourist train to the right amount of time to acclimate to altitude, from the details of the Machu Picchu circuit to the food that will shape your itinerary — we take care of every part of the journey.

Tickets secured

We secure Machu Picchu tickets for your date.

Tickets and circuits can sell out months in advance. Our local team in Cusco checks availability, secures your entry and aligns train, hotel and circuit in a coherent itinerary — all in a single conversation, in English.

The sooner you reach out, the better the times and circuits available for your trip.

Incredible place

The agency is extremely efficient and punctual for hotel pickups. I did 2 private tours with them and it was perfect — they're very attentive, respecting our pace on the climb. I went with 2 friends (Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lagoon).
