Machu Picchu

What to expect in Machupicchu

Machupicchu’s Klook bookings are dominated by tours and visits to parks and gardens, so most visitors book guided experiences and outdoor sightseeing. Demand varies through the year with clear high and low months, giving a predictable rhythm for planning activities.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook data show demand peaks in June and drops to its low point in December. Prices generally stay elevated through mid-year and into August, with the priciest month typically in August and an unusually low typical price seen in June of the following year. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the trough month in December or other quieter months; for peak-season atmosphere choose June when demand is highest. Note that price and demand don’t move perfectly together here: the busiest month (June) is not the single priciest month (August), so you can experience lively crowds without necessarily paying the absolute peak price.

Tips for travellers

Most travellers book well in advance — Klook data show typical bookings are made around 25 days ahead, with many last-minute bookings possible about a week out and early planners booking closer to two months ahead. If you prefer flexibility you can still find options a few days before travel, but if you’re visiting in the busiest months it helps to plan earlier. Use Klook to compare tours and outdoor experiences and lock in the ones that fit your travel style.
