What a better way to make the most of your visit to this Wonder of the World than combining it with the astounding, rich in culture and nature, Sacred Valley. This valley is home of some the most important archeological sites, striking colonial towns, handicrafts markets and native, old Inca citadels. This is the perfect introduction to the wonders of Aguas Calientes town and the masterpiece of architecture, urbanism, art and engineering of the Inca Civilization: Machu Picchu.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel/hostel between 7:00am-7:30am and be taken to the town of Pisac. This small, beautiful village is full of history and is the entrance hall to the Sacred Valley. Here we’ll visit the archaeological centre and the traditional market where you’ll be able to buy some local souvenirs for yourself or loved ones back home.
We then continue on to Ollantaytambo, where we’ll first stop for lunch at a beautiful local restaurant. We will again discover the astonishing Inca architecture and the beauty of the local culture.
From there, we make our way to the train station to take the 2-hour train ride to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, our team will be waiting for you to welcome you to this small town, give all the details necessary and take you to the hostel where you’ll spend the night.
In the early morning hours (time will be confirmed during your tour briefing) we take the scenic shuttle bus ride from Aguas Calientes up the zig -zagging Hiram Bingham highway to the entrance to the famous ruins.
Once in Machu Picchu you will have a 2-hour guided tour of the ruins where you see the Main Plaza, the Circular Tower, the Sacred Solar Clock, the Royal Quarters, and more. You’ll also learn all about the Incas, their culture and the history of Machu Picchu. After the tour you will have some free time to explore, take pictures, or just walk around the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
Finally, you’ll make your way back down to Aguas Calientes town to take the train back at either 06:20pm or before (subject availability) from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo, and then a private mini-van back to Plaza San Francisco in Cusco.
What’s Included 
Frequently Asked QuestionsExploring Machu Picchu is not strenuous at all. To reach the Inca citadel, you have the option of either a 1.5-hour hike up or a 20-minute bus ride. Once at the site, it’s just like walking around any other city – it’s even at a lower altitude than the city of Cusco!
Luckily Machu Picchu is open 7 days a week, all-year round. Our recommendation is to visit between April through May and from September through October. June, July and August is when the weather is best, but also the busiest.
Our tour departs with a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8 people.
