Allowed Luggage: Travel in Total Comfort to Hidroelectrica
To ensure maximum safety, personal space, and comfort for our passengers along the Amazon Route, Machu Picchu by Car VIP enforces a clear, standardized onboard luggage policy. Because this route combines a minivan transfer with a 2.5 to 3-hour walk along the train tracks from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes, bringing the right luggage is essential for an enjoyable journey.

Key Travel Recommendations
Leave Bulky Luggage in Cusco or Ollantaytambo The walk from Hidroelectrica Station to Machu Picchu Pueblo follows a mostly flat route alongside the railway tracks, but the gravel surface can make it difficult to pull large wheeled suitcases. We recommend leaving luggage over 15 kg or other bulky bags with your hotel’s luggage storage service in Cusco or Ollantaytambo, which is generally free of charge. Travel to the cloud forest with only what you need for your visit.
Additional or Special Luggage If you are traveling with large professional photography equipment, instruments, or luggage outside the standard allowance, please contact us in advance to check luggage compartment availability and ensure there is enough space for your group.
