Is there an extra fee for carrying my travel backpack in the trunk?

No, not at all. Your InkaBusTickets ticket includes the transport of your main luggage in the bus storage compartment free of charge, as long as it does not exceed 15 kg.

Is it a good idea to bring a wheeled suitcase on the trip to Hidroeléctrica?

We do not recommend it. Upon arriving in Hidroeléctrica, you will have to walk 10 km along a dirt and gravel path by the railway tracks to Aguas Calientes. Dragging a hard-shell or large suitcase there is very inconvenient. The ideal choice is to bring a trekking backpack or leave your heavy luggage stored in Cusco.

Can I bring my personal bag or backpack into the bus cabin?

Yes! You can bring a small backpack or handbag with you at your seat to keep your documents, money, camera, and valuables handy during the 6-hour journey.

Golden Packing Tips for Machu Picchu via Hidroeléctrica

Travel light and enjoy the walk Keep in mind that after getting off the bus at Hidroeléctrica, the 10 km walking section to Aguas Calientes begins. Although the terrain is completely flat, the surface has railway gravel. The best decision is to leave your bulky suitcases in storage at your hotel in Cusco (almost all offer this service for free) and carry only a comfortable backpack with clothes for 1 or 2 days.
