We will pick you up around 5:30 AM and take you to the train station, where you will board your train for the exciting journey to Aguas Calientes (2000 m.a.s.l).
During this ride, you will enjoy panoramic views of the andes: Colored mountains, animals and stunning clear skies. The last part, for sure, is the best: While you arrive at Machu Picchu, you will have the experience of immersing yourself in the jungle part of Cusco!
Upon arrival at the train station, our guide will be waiting for you with a sign and your names on it.

Now, your dreams come true, you will have, just in front of you the beautifulness of this mystical place.
Time to go in! You'll pass through the entrance control where you'll present your ticket. From there, the guided tour will start, visiting main sites such as the Main Plaza, the Circular Tower, the Sacred Solar Clock, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows, and the cemeteries.
After the guided tour, you'll have free time to explore Machu Picchu on your own. Later, we'll return to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you can have lunch at one of the local restaurants (lunch is not included).
In the afternoon, you'll board the train back to Cusco (please arrive at the station 30 minutes before your train's departure time). The return journey follows the same route as the first one.
