Sacred Valley Tour & Scenic Train to Machu Picchu
Early Departure & Cultural Workshop: Travel to the Sacred Valley of the Incas surrounded by spectacular Andean views. Stop at a local textile workshop to discover ancient weaving techniques and enjoy panoramic vistas from a scenic lookout point.
Pisac Ruins & Craft Market: Explore the impressive Pisac Inca Archaeological Site, perched atop a mountain with massive agricultural terraces. Afterward, visit the famous Pisac market, renowned for high-quality Peruvian handicrafts.
Urubamba Buffet Lunch: Drive along the Urubamba River to enjoy an authentic Peruvian buffet lunch.
Ollantaytambo Fortress: Discover Ollantaytambo, a famous “living Inca town.” Ascend its monumental hilltop fortress, that in fact was the “Temple of the Sun” built with giant, finely carved stone blocks, and take in the panoramic views once enjoyed by the Inca emperor Pachacutec.
Train to Aguas Calientes: Board a 1.5-hour scenic train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), descending through the cloud forest. Upon arrival, our local host will transfer you to your hotel.
Overnight: Selected hotel in Aguas Calientes.
Guided Machu Picchu Tour & Return to Cusco
Bus Ride to Machu Picchu: Meet your local expert guide and take a scenic 25-minute shuttle bus ride up the winding mountain road directly to the citadel entrance. This unique bus ride can be an attraction itself.
Guided Tour: Enjoy an engaging, guided tour of this iconic World Heritage Site. Explore key landmarks—such as the Guardian’s House, Temple of the Sun, and Sacred Plaza—while taking in magnificent views of Inca terraces.
Note on Circuits: Landmarks visited depend on the booked circuit. Circuit 2 offers the most complete experience but requires early booking due to strict daily entry limits.
