Depending on their preferred pace of exploration, some travelers on Machu Picchu tours find spending a single day at the site sufficient. Other travelers on Machu Picchu trips prefer to take their time and explore over the course of two days. Travelers on our [Ancient Peru & Machu Picchu tour](https://www.goaheadtours.com/guided-tours/ancient-peru-machu-picchu#itinerary) can choose to visit the site on a single day, or add an excursion to return to the ruins the day after their initial visit.
