Itinerary

DAY 1

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and transfer you to Ollantaytambo Train Station, where you will board the train to Machu Picchu Town (Aguas Calientes). Upon arrival, our representative will meet you and escort you to your hotel.

After check-in, we will head to the Consettur bus station to ascend to the entrance of Machu Picchu Citadel.

Once inside, you will enjoy a guided tour lasting approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. After the tour, you will have free time to explore the citadel at your own pace before taking the bus back to Machu Picchu Town.

You may have lunch on your own at your hotel or at the restaurant of your choice. In the afternoon, you will have free time to stroll through the town or relax at the famous hot springs (optional and at your own expense).

DAY 2

On the second day, you'll experience Machu Picchu from above. Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel and return to the Consettur bus station for another ride up to the citadel.

This time, you will enter through Circuit 3, exploring the lower section of Machu Picchu before reaching the trailhead to Huayna Picchu Mountain. From there, you'll begin the hike to the summit, which takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on your pace.

After completing the visit, you will descend to the exit of the citadel and return to Machu Picchu Town. You will have free time for lunch before boarding the train back to Ollantaytambo, where our staff will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Cusco.
