What to Do with Your Luggage When Traveling to Machu Picchu? Practical Tips

Your trip to Machu Picchu is about to become a reality, but there is a logistical detail that many forget until the last minute: what do I do with my big suitcase?

If you are traveling on the tourist trains (PeruRail or Inca Rail) to Aguas Calientes, you should know that there is a luggage restriction. You are only allowed to bring a small backpack (maximum 5 to 8 kg / 11 to 17 lbs). Therefore, if you are taking a long trip through Peru, the key question is where to safely store your luggage in Cusco.

The best option is to leave it at your accommodation in the Imperial City. When looking for a secure hotel in Cusco, make sure they offer a Luggage Storage or suitcase custody service with no hidden costs.

At Hotel Matara, we perfectly understand the traveler's dynamics. That is why we offer all our guests a free luggage storage service. Travel light to the Inca citadel, recharge your energy, and when you return to Cusco, your suitcases will be waiting for you in our facilities, 100% secure. Plan your trip smart and stay with us!
