Itinerary – Machu Picchu One Day Tour
For this tour, the hotel pickup time depends on the entrance time we obtain for Machu Picchu. Usually, we travel by car from Cusco in the morning for about 2 hours to the town of Ollantaytambo.
From Ollantaytambo, we take the train for approximately 2 hours to the town of Aguas Calientes. This is the only way to travel from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes to reach Machu Picchu.
Upon arrival, there will be time for lunch. Afterward, we take a 30-minute bus ride up to the Inca site of Machu Picchu.
We enjoy a guided tour of approximately 2.5 hours, according to the new regulations and the circuit assigned on the date of your reservation.
After the guided visit, we return by bus to Aguas Calientes in about 30 minutes, then take the afternoon train back to Ollantaytambo (approximately 2 hours), followed by a 2-hour drive back to Cusco, with drop-off at your hotel.
This is a door-to-door tour service offered at a fair price for our clients.
