Itinerary and highlights
"Our private van will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and take you on a comfortable drive through the picturesque Sacred Valley to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Andean landscapes, traditional villages, and towering mountain peaks.
Once we arrive at the station, you’ll board a scenic train that offers stunning panoramic views as it winds along the Urubamba River toward Machu Picchu Town (Aguas Calientes). During the journey, you can relax and take in the lush cloud forest, rugged cliffs, and the first glimpses of the mystical Machu Picchu region.
Upon arrival at Machu Picchu Town (Aguas Calientes), your expert guide will be waiting just outside the train station, holding a sign with your name for easy identification. After a warm welcome, we’ll take a short walk through this charming town to the bus station. From there, you’ll board a comfortable bus for a scenic 30-minute ride up the winding mountain roads, surrounded by lush cloud forest and breathtaking views of the towering Andes.
As we approach the entrance to the legendary Machu Picchu archaeological site, also known as the "Lost City of the Incas," you’ll have the opportunity to explore one of its three official circuits. Each circuit offers a unique perspective of this ancient wonder, showcasing its stunning architecture, breathtaking terraces, and sacred temples.
At the time of your booking, we will secure your entrance ticket based on availability. Since access to Machu Picchu is limited and demand is high, your assigned circuit will depend on the availability at the time of reservation.
