Proposed tour

The tour to Machu Picchu is made in one day, with the possibility of adding an extra day and additional services, with a night accommodation in Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu. In both cases, departure is in the morning from Cusco and the round-trip is partly by bus partly by train. The return to Cusco is in the evening.

A la carte services

We offer this tour "a la carte" because we know that sometimes visitors want to change some services. That is why our tour includes the minimum.

Detail of the tour

Note 1: Timetables are not indicated because they depend on the chosen train category (Expedition or Vistadome) and on availability for the departure day.

Note 2: Included services are underlined in green.

• On the day and time of your choice, transfer from Cusco airport to your hotel in Cusco.
• The day of the tour, early in the morning, transfer from your hotel in Cusco to the train station, which can be Poroy (at 30 minutes from Cusco) or Ollantaytambo (at 1 hour 30 minutes from Cusco), depending on train category and available spaces.

• The visit ends early in the afternoon. Since the rest of the day is free, some people might decide to go down to Aguas Calientes by bus immediately. Others might prefer to freely walk around the citadel.
