Description

Shrouded by mist and surrounded by lush vegetation and steep escarpments, the sprawling Inca citadel of Machu Picchu lives up to every expectation.
It is a full day excursion from Cusco. Start with pickup from your Cusco hotel (I pick up only near the Main Square) and travel to Ollantaytambo station to board the train that will take you to Aguas Calientes. The views of the mountains during the train ride to Aguas Calientes are wonderful, then you will board a comfortable bus to Machu Picchu, upon arrival a guided group tour will begin (Group guided circuit 2, other circuit ask for additional).

Take a guided tour of the place that explains the origins of this imposing citadel and its most important places such as the great Main Plaza, the Royal Residence, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Circular Towers, the sacred Sundial and the cemetery (according to circuit). After the tour, you will return to Aguas Calientes where you will have free time to enjoy the complimentary lunch that was chosen with great care, the dishes are prepared with dedication and with the sole purpose of satisfying the palate of our clients, with a spectacular panoramic view. You will then spend time in the city, so that we finally board the return train at the Aguas Calientes station and arrive at Ollantaytambo, from where you will be taken back to Cusco.
