Suggested 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 late in the evening.

A la carte services

We offer this tour "a la carte" because we know that sometimes visitors want to add some services.
