Beschrijving
Discover Machu Picchu on a day trip from Cusco. Enjoy a scenic train ride, explore the Inca citadel with a guide, and have free time in Aguas Calientes.
Begin your day with an early pickup from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley. Travel by comfortable tourist transport through the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo or the confirmed train station. Along the way, see Andean villages, mountains, farms, and the Urubamba Valley waking up in the early morning.
Board the train to Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo. The ride takes about 1.5 hours from Ollantaytambo and follows the Urubamba River as the landscape changes from high Andean valley to lush cloud forest.
When you arrive, meet your local guide near the train station. Receive clear instructions, help with the group, and guidance to the bus station, making the transition easy and stress-free.
Take the shuttle bus up the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu. The ride takes around 30 minutes and offers beautiful views as you climb toward the archaeological sanctuary.
Enter Machu Picchu according to your assigned entry time. Your guide will lead a 2 to 3-hour visit through the main areas included in your circuit, explaining the history, design, sacred spaces, terraces, temples, and daily life of the Inca city.
After the guided tour, return by bus to Aguas Calientes. Enjoy free time for lunch on your own, shopping, photos, or a short walk through town before your return train.
In the afternoon, board your return train to Ollantaytambo or the confirmed station. Once you arrive, your transport will be waiting to take you back to Cusco. Drop-off at your hotel is usually between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m., depending on traffic, train time, and final logistics.
