Your journey starts with an early pickup from your hotel in Cusco, usually around 5:30 AM, depending on your confirmed train schedule. We’ll drive through the beautiful Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo train station. Pickup is also available from selected hotels in the Sacred Valley, with a later pickup time depending on your location.

Arrive at Ollantaytambo train station and board the Vistadome Observatory Train to Aguas Calientes. Enjoy panoramic views of the Urubamba River, mountains, and cloud forest along the way. After your Machu Picchu visit, return by Vistadome Observatory Train to Ollantaytambo, where our transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Cusco, arriving at approximately 7:30 PM.

Arrive in Aguas Calientes, where your guide will meet you near the train station and accompany you to the bus station. Take the 30-minute shuttle bus up the mountain to Machu Picchu. After your visit, return by bus to Aguas Calientes and enjoy some free time for lunch, shopping, or relaxing before your return train.

Explore the best of Machu Picchu with an expert local guide during a 2 to 3-hour guided tour. Discover its temples, terraces, sacred spaces, Inca architecture, history, and spectacular mountain views. We book Circuit 2 by default whenever available, as it offers the classic Machu Picchu experience. If Circuit 2 is not available for your date or entrance time, we will book Circuit 3 or the best available official circuit so you can still enjoy a complete and memorable visit.
