About this experience
Don't miss Machu Picchu due to lack of time. We left early from Cusco, took a panoramic train to Aguas Calientes and took a bus to the citadel for a 2-hour guided tour of the most emblematic sectors.
You will have free time for photos before returning by train and transfer to your hotel in Cusco. The entire circuit is coordinated so that you only focus on the experience.
It is the favorite option for travelers with a tight agenda who do not want to give up the Inca city.
Meeting point
Pick up at a hotel in the center of Cusco (4:00–4:30 a.m.)
Your journey, day by day
-
Day 1: Cusco – Machupicchu
The tour begins with pickup from your hotel approx. 4:10 am, to take you to the Ollantaytambo station, the trip is approximately an hour and a half to reach said train station, once there you can board the Expedition train that will take you to Machu Picchu Pueblo. This train will be arriving at Machu Picchu Pueblo at 7:40 am and at the exit of the train station, your guide will be waiting for you so that you can go to the bus station and go up to the citadel of Machu Picchu.
A Once in Machu Picchu, you will have a 2-hour guide to know and visit the most important places of Machu Picchu, after which you will be able to tour the citadel on your own until the departure time, which is at noon. After this you can go down by bus to Machu Picchu town where you will have all the time available to do some other activities, such as visiting the streets of the city, visiting the thermal baths and relaxing, also the Manuel Chávez Ballón Museum, any of these visits you can do on your own and assume the entry cost that this implies.
A very important note to keep in mind is that you must be at the train station half an hour before departure. Your return train leaves the Machu Picchu Pueblo station at 3:20 pm, so you will need to be at the train station at 2:00 pm. Once on the train, it will be arriving at the Ollantaytambo station at 5:15 pm, at the same Ollantaytambo station, the staff of the train company will make you get on a bus from the same train company which will take you to the Wanchaq station in the city of Cusco. In Cusco our transfer will be waiting to take you to your hotel.
