ITINERARY
First of all, we will pick you up from your hotel and leave Cusco very early in the morning. Then, we will travel by private van to the town of “Ollantaytambo” which will take approximately 1:30 minutes. Then, we will board our train to Aguas Calientes. With beautiful landscapes throughout the trip, following the course of the Willcamayu or Vilcanota river.
Later, upon arrival in the town of Aguas Calientes, our tour guide will be there to welcome you and take you to the bus station to go directly to Machu Picchu for your guided tour. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours during which you will learn about the Incas and the wonder that is Machupicchu. You will visit the most important areas of the citadel.
In the afternoon, you will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes where you will have lunch and take the train back to Ollantaytambo and then continue by private tourist bus to the city of Cusco.
