Upon arrival at Ollantaytambo Station, you will board the Tourist Train that will take you to the town of Machu Picchu, "Aguas Calientes". During the train ride, you will be able to enjoy a show on board, the classic Peruvian theater "Drama Ollantay", and you will also be able to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes of the Sacred Valley. (Course of 1 hour and 40 minutes)
Upon arrival at the Aguas Calientes Station, you will have to go to the station exit, where agency staff will be waiting for you and direct you to the Ecological Bus Station to go up to Machu Picchu. (30 minute trip)
Once you arrive at the entrance to Machu Picchu, your guide will be waiting for you so you can enter the Sanctuary as a group and begin your guided tour. The tour will last approximately 3 hours, after which you will have free time to take photos.
After the guided tour, you can return to the village on any of the Eco-Friendly Buses, which depart every 10 minutes (a 30-minute journey). You will have free time to have lunch in the village on your own or to wander around. The village is small, so it's quick and easy to navigate, and you'll find many options for lunch, from buffet restaurants, vegetarian restaurants, chicken restaurants, à la carte restaurants, menus, markets, etc. You'll even have time to visit the hot springs (admission is 20 soles, payable on-site).

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
