About this activity
We will pick you up from your hotel/hostel around 3:00am and take you by bus to Ollantaytambo. There you will embark the train to Aguas Calientes, arriving in Aguas Calientes around 7:50 am.

Then you can choose between two options: you can hike to Machu Picchu, which will take between 1-2 hours to reach the top, or you can go there by bus (bus ticket included), which will take around 35 minutes.

At the entrance to Machu Picchu, you will be greeted by our friendly guide, who will explain the history and guide you through the Inca ruins, showing you the most important places and describing their purposes during the Inca times. It will be a great lesson of history and culture of the Incan Empire connected with the very nice walking in beautiful scenery.

You will also have time for discovering this unique place on your own. You can stay in Machu Picchu until the maximum of 5 pm.

If you decide to stay less time in Machu Picchu, you will also have a chance to visit Aguas Calientes town (Now called Machu Picchu Pueblo).

From Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes you will return on your own. You can walk down (around 1,5-2 hours, depending on your physical conditions) or you can take a bus (not included).

Just remember that you need to be in Aguas Calientes at least 30 minutes before departure of your train to Ollantaytambo. In Ollantaytambo, you will find our bus next to the train station, which will take you to Cusco.

Your one day Machu Picchu trip will end in Plaza de Armas in Cusco after midnight.
