very helpful video. I am planning to do the same trip. I don't want to do a travel agency exccept when I have to in order to get up to Machu Picchu. Thanks. I'll be there at the begining of June.
what a great video! i watched it all on one go lol and no ads! amazing 😅 its the first way up MP when you finally take it all in and its truly speechless tbh, ive been 3 times and its breathtaking each time. i’m from lima! on your last day i wouldve gone to the main square of lima, theres the cathedral, museums and a lot of traditional restaurants, its was a bummer you got stuck with your luggage😢 oh well there will be more times! thanks for visiting here 🇵🇪 keep up the good videos!
Fellow Canuck about to leave on Sunday for my trip. Your video help relieve some anxiety. Very well done blog. Thanks. Look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Oh btw, where did you buy the bus tickets? I got my Vistodome train tickets but I still need the bus. I liked the bus you were on, it did not look too crowded.
I’m would love you to travel to Puerto Rico and do an awesome video. My husband is Swiss citizen and also a photographer. He can be very helpful in providing information to you!!
Hi Joseph, great vlog bud and thanks for the pointers at the end. One question, I saw where you had waited in the 9am line at Aguas Calientes to go to MP. You also stated that your entry time to MP was 9am. How does this work? Do the 9am buses leave minutes in advance to make it to MP by 9? Need some clarity here. Thanks!
Thank you! So our ticket for MP was for 9am. A lot of people, including myself thought we would have to stay in the 8am bus, thinking it will bring us to MP for 9am. That’s not the case tho, if your MP ticket says 9am you stand in the 9am bus line. Also be early to your bus, line grows fast!
"Operated by Inca Rail, the Aguas Calientes Station to Cusco service departs from Aguas Calientes Station and arrives in Ave. El Sol 843 , Cusco." I found this online. It seems to just be called Aguas Calientes Station! I believe once you get on PeruRail from Cusco it only stopo in Agus !
I was reading on the perurail website that you cannot bring luggage, only a bookbag. Is this consistent with your experience? I would have to keep a airbnb in cusco for the entire time if I cannot bring luggage
Definitely! So per person is was $800 round trip for flight (Halifax-Lima) we booked in advance! Then airbnbs per person were around $500 for 7 days. And for food and other stuff probably about $300. So in total around $1600-$1800 per person for 7 days!
@@horizoneyeproject Thank you so much. So that website is legit then, you had no problem with entry? That website is a reseller that charges more and keeps a cut, but personally I don't mind as long as the tickets are legit. The direct ticket site from Peru is a disaster especially if your trying to buy early in the year.
Transportation is through our airbnbs that we used! If you’re using the Airbnb’s we used in the video they will provide safe travels! Also our flight to Cusco was roughly around early morning and we got there later in the afternoon, which gave us time to explore! Once in Cusco you’ll need to acclimatize for 2 days before heading to Machu Picchu!
@@horizoneyeproject Awesome! I did reach out to the AirB&B host in Miraflores and he gave me transportation info/contact. Was the location in walking distance to that coffee shop ? We went to to have a little time to explore and then get to flight to Cusco so that like you said, we can acclimatize since we are doing the 5 Day trek to Machu Pichu
Elegante y calidad de video
Bienvenido a Perú Lima

What was the station called for Aqua Calientes on Perurail? I am having a hard time finding the trip from Cusco to Aqua
"Operated by Inca Rail, the Aguas Calientes Station to Cusco service departs from Aguas Calientes Station and arrives in Ave. El Sol 843 , Cusco." I found this online. It seems to just be called Aguas Calientes Station! I believe once you get on PeruRail from Cusco it only stopo in Agus !

Hey there! Unfortunately I only had my backpack on me so Im unsure about that. I didn't see anyone with luggage tho so that may be he case!
Could i be so bold as to ask what your entire trip cost?
Definitely! So per person is was $800 round trip for flight (Halifax-Lima) we booked in advance! Then airbnbs per person were around $500 for 7 days. And for food and other stuff probably about $300. So in total around $1600-$1800 per person for 7 days!
did you buy tickets to MP on your own? I don't think that is possible now. Or did you use a local tour agency?
Hi there! We did buy our tickets on our own. My partner bought them but I believe this is the site we used!

Did you pay cash/sol or credit cards for food? Was there additional fees for using credit cards?
We had Sol for most of our trip, once we ran out near the end we used credit card!
Hi! What time was y’all’s flight from Lima to Cusco? Also, do you mind sharing contact info for your transportation to/from airport
