After picking you up at your hotel we will go to the train station from where we will depart to Machu Picchu.
The train ride is one of the great surprises of the trip, as this is one of the most spectacular railway routes in the world, the scenery is unforgettable and the train in which we will go has a glass ceiling, it’s incredible! The journey, 43 kilometers long and lasting an hour and a half, will fly by.
Once in Aguas Calientes, we will take a bus for a 25 to 30 minute ride to the top of the mountain, where the citadel of Machu Picchu is located. This first sight will not be easily erased from your retina.
In Machu Picchu we will take a guided tour of two and a half hours in which we will discover the history, legends and all the secrets of the place. We will walk through passages, alleys and places like the House of the Guardian to discover the greatness of the Incas.
With the camera full of photos we will take the bus again to descend to the town of Aguas Calientes, where before taking the train back, you will have between two and five hours of free time to have lunch and continue admiring the scenery. This time will depend on the time of the entrance to Machu Picchu and the return train.
The tour to Machu Picchu takes place in panoramic trains with huge windows and glass roofs. Traveling in these trains is like flying! We offer the option to travel in tourist class (Expedition or Voyager train) and first class (Vistadome The 360º train).
The pick up will be at the selected time at the hotels in the historic center of Cusco. In case your accommodation is not in the center, we will meet you at the door of the Cathedral, in the Plaza de Armas.
We will confirm the exact pick-up time, as it varies according to train availability.
Both outbound and return trains to Cusco can operate from Poroy station (30 minutes from Cusco) or Ollantaytambo ( 1 hour and 30 minutes from Cusco), depending on availability. During the rainy season (December to March) the Poroy station is closed, so you will go by bus to Ollantaytambo. An email will be sent once the reservation is confirmed indicating the exact time of pick up at the hotel and the station from where you will take the train.
The duration of the transfers will vary depending on the boarding station. The journey between Poroy and Aguas Calientes is about 4 hours, and the journey between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes is
1 hour and 30 minutes.
