Make the most of your stay in Peru with a full-day adventure to legendary Machu Picchu.

Enjoy panoramic views of the train ride through the stunning mountain valleys, arriving in Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu.
Upon arrival, your guide will transfer you to a bus for an exciting ascent to the ancient Inca citadel.
