Around 11:00 am, we will arrive at the small town of Aguas Calientes. Aguas Calientes is famous for its natural hot springs. The town offers numerous services for tourists, including hotels and restaurants. After arriving at Aguas Calientes, we will board a bus to the citadel of Machu Picchu. This short trip takes about 30 minutes.
Once we arrive at the entrance of Machu Picchu, our tour guide will assist you through the security checkpoints. Then our tour will begin.

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.
