Itinerary and highlights
We start very early with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Our private transportation will take you comfortably to the train station in Ollantaytambo, while enjoying the views of the Sacred Valley in its first lights of day.
We board a tourist train (Expedition or Voyager) to enjoy the beautiful journey by the river and surrounded by mountainous landscapes.
Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, our representative will meet you and guide you to the tourist bus that goes up to the Inca citadel. The bus tour takes about 30 minutes and ascends a mountain path surrounded by lush greenery, heralding the proximity of one of the wonders of the world.
Machu Picchu awaits you at the top, majestic between mountains. With an official guide, you will tour the main archaeological points of the citadel. For approximately 21⁄2 hours you will know its history, symbolism and mystery.
At the station, you will again board the train that will take you back to Ollantaytambo. The route, with the evening light, offers a different perspective of the Andean landscape. A relaxing journey to close an unforgettable day.
Upon arrival in Ollantaytambo, our private transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Cusco. The tour ends at approximately 21:00 hrs, after having lived one of the most fascinating experiences in the Andean world.
