Itinerary

Cusco – Machu Picchu

Day 1

Very early in the morning, we will pick you up and transfer you to the bus station to board the bus to travel for 1 hour 45 minutes until you reach the train station located in the town of Ollantaytambo. You will board the train at this station that passes through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. On a fantastic journey from the Andes to the edge of the jungle in Aguas Calientes, this beautiful train trip lasts one h 45min. Upon arrival in this small town, our representative will be waiting to assist you until you take the bus that will take you to the Archaeological Sanctuary of Machu Picchu; the trip takes 30 minutes. Finally, we will arrive at the sanctuary of Machu Picchu, where you will feel the magic of this ancient place and enjoy the impressive view from the Inca citadel. After the unforgettable moment, our guide will explain this beautiful place’s history and architecture; you will also know the areas in which the fortress was divided, which, despite being isolated, could be self-sustaining. After the guided tour, you can enjoy Machu Picchu in your way, take photos and explore the place freely. In the afternoon, you will have time to have lunch and explore the town of Aguas Calientes a little, which has many restaurants and craft shops. Then we will board the train back to Ollantaytambo, where you will find the bus to return to Cusco.
