Itinerary

To begin our Machu Picchu Tour, we pick you up early in the morning from your hotel in Cusco and travel by private tourist van to Ollantaytambo, where we board the scenic train to Aguas Calientes. As we follow the Urubamba River, the changing landscapes, from snow-capped peaks to lush cloud forest, make the journey an experience in itself. Upon arrival, our guide greets you and takes you to the bus station, where we ascend to Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Enjoy a 2-hour guided tour, exploring its sacred temples, agricultural terraces, and royal quarters, while uncovering the mysteries of the Incas. Later, we return by bus to Aguas Calientes town, where you’ll board the train back to Ollantaytambo. From there, a private van takes you to Cusco, where we drop you off at your hotel, marking the end of an unforgettable journey.

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.
