  1. Bring your Passport, which is so essential to your trip to Machu Picchu.
  2. The student $20 discount for the use of student cards is regulated by the site and INC itself, not MINKA´S Travel. All student cards are validated by the control of the park and are only accepted if you scanned a clear copy of your valid card through with your deposit at the time of booking and it was confirmed. The control does not accept a Youth Travel card.
  3. The cost of the tour is based on double occupancy. Single supplement costs additional for single travelers.
  4. Changes to schedules or dates can only be made if there is availability on the alternative date and when train tickets have been finalized this incurs a further administration charge of $15 per ticket. At times a change of date may only be possible with an upgrade and so the price difference would also need to be paid.

Entrances to Machu Picchu

Change of dates is not possible after a permit has been processed. Permits for Machu Picchu are non-transferable nor refundable Permits. The deposit will be forfeited. Please note that we do this because we are prohibited to re-sell your spot after you have canceled.

Extra tickets to Machu Picchu (Huayna Picchu, Montaña, and Huchuy Picchu) and Travel Insurance

Climbing Huayna Picchu mountain (1.5 -2 Hrs), if you are looking for high season and Huayna Picchu permits have already run out then we can offer permits for the Montana Machu Picchu climb. This is higher so check the information and “Ask in Advance”. If you prefer to do that option let us know, immediately we are going to consider it in your package but will be an additional cost of $60 because we need to buy another entrance admission and as we have put before should be in advance because the permits are limited and sometimes are sold out.
