What to Know About New Machu Picchu Entry Times https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/08/what-to-know-about-new-machu-picchu-entry-times/ Here's the latest update regarding changes to how entry times to Machu Picchu are now displayed. A lot has happened in 2024. Since January, the Peru government launched a new website, twice, reorganized all the circuits, changed how the entry times are displayed. And as a bonus, they established an official tolerance for late entry! Yikes. What else is there? One more little thing. They defined a high season and a low season. I'm going to show you the difference between how the old entry times and the newest entry times are displayed. And I'm going to explain what all these changes mean. To…

How to Extend Your Visit to Machu Picchu Ruins https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/07/how-to-extend-your-visit-to-machu-picchu-ruins/ If a one-day trip to Machu Picchu seems like it's over too quickly for you, there's nothing wrong with extending your visit for another day. Here's my perspective on why I think 2 days are better than one. It's a long way to go to get to the middle of the Andes Mountains, only to turn around and go back the same day. Unless you're on a short 3-day cruise excursion, there are several ways to optimize your time and enhance your experience on the way to and from Machu Picchu.

One of the best free tools for independent travelers going to Machu Picchu are the circuit maps found on the old…

Are All the Circuits at Machu Picchu Different? https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/07/are-all-the-circuits-at-machu-picchu-different/ Here's what you need to understand about the 10 circuits at Machu Picchu. There are people buying entry tickets to different circuits thinking they will see something different on each one. The old Machu Picchu website still has the best map tool on the internet to get a visual perspective of what I'm talking about.

To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying you should not buy additional tickets to enter Machu Picchu more than once. What I'm saying is that you will not necessariiy see new areas of the park from the…

How We Got to Machu Picchu On "The Wings Of A Condor" https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/06/how-we-got-to-machu-picchu-on-the-wings-of-a-condor/ Fortunately, it's not often that something goes horribly wrong on a trip. Issues with hotel reservations, tardy flights, missed trains or buses are one thing, but getting stranded in a far-flung location during a mudslide on the way to Machu Picchu is a once in a lifetime occurence. In 17 years of exploring Peru, nothing like this has ever happened to me or anyone I know. It was a fluke. A wild card, A chance occurence that just happened. And depending on how you look at it, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe not. What happened after the slide was a remarkable collision between…

Flights to Huaraz, Peru Resume in 2024 https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/06/flights-to-huaraz,-peru-resume-in-2024/ After waiting 6 long years, adventure travelers can now fly between Lima and Huaraz starting July 1, 2024. In case you don't know, Huaraz is a small town in the heart of the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca, and the hub to some of the finest trekking, climbing and high mountain exploring, in all of Peru! This is a huge advancement for travelers not accustomed to riding buses for long periods of time. 

I flew up to Huaraz one year to scope it out. This was before flights were suspended. It was on a small plane with maybe 20 seats. The airport was relatively new, so I don't know why the recent…

Are Circuits Changing at Machu Picchu? https://www.adiosadventuretravel.com/blog/2024/05/are-circuits-changing-at-machu-picchu/ Yes. It's true. It was officially announced less than two weeks from the date that it took effect on June 1, 2024. The Machu Picchu national park has been divided into 10 new routes, or circuits. Tickets for all 10 routes can be purchased on the new TuBoleto ticketing website which I linked below. The old Joinnus website was shut down on August 3 and the new Peru government website launched on August 4.. So stay with me. Follow us on Instagram (@AdiosBasecamp) or Facebook

Again. Peru government launched the final new Machu Picchu ticket website on Sunday August 4, 2024. During the transition to the new website, they shut down Joinnus, the old new website where tickets were last available on Friday Aug 2. Hopefully you all printed your tickets from Joinnus! Just in case you didn't. We just got a report from Nick who went to Aguas Calientes today (Aug 7) and was able to print his tickets in person (you need your reservation code AND your passports). You should be able to do this at the ministry office in Cusco as well, according to our manager.

We're hearing from people who bought entry tickets from a ticket distributer or tour operator, only to encounter poor customer service. and slow, or no response to their followup emails or calls. Several travelers reported that they did not receive their entry tickets and had to wait until they arrived in Cusco to find out if their tickets were legitimate! This is not how it should work folks. Unless you're told this before you buy, I would not be happy if I had to wait until my arrival in Cusco to find out if my tickets were confirmed,…
