DO I NEED MY ORIGINAL PASSPORT FOR MACHU PICCHU TOURS?
Yes! You have to bring your original passport as it is very important, in order, to gain entry onto the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and other sites. It must be the same passport that was used to book with us from the start.

We must have a copy of your old and new passport to make the change.
If you do not wish to pay this fee, you will need to bring both passports to Peru with you. You can enter Peru with your new passport but you will need to show both old and new passports, to be able to enter Machu Picchu or board the train. If you do not have both, you will not be allowed to enter Machu Picchu or get on the train.

The weather is very unpredictable and it’s difficult to foresee. We recommend you dress in layers as it will be easier to adjust to the quickly changing weather.
