About this Tour

Machu Picchu, the crown jewel of the Inca Empire and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, awaits you on this full-day excursion from Cusco. We depart early for Ollantaytambo station, where we board the train through the stunning Urubamba River canyon to Aguas Calientes. From there, a short bus ride takes us to the citadel entrance. During the 2 to 3-hour guided tour, you will explore the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana stone, the Main Plaza, and the impressive agricultural terraces. You will have free time to photograph the breathtaking landscapes and soak in the unique energy of this sacred place. In the afternoon, we return to Aguas Calientes for lunch before heading back to Cusco.
