Complete Itinerary - Overnight in Machu Picchu

Day 01: Cusco – Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu
You will be picked up at your Cusco hotel and transferred to the nearby train station for the train journey to the mysterious lost city of Machu Picchu. The journey is picturesque but the train is slow as it zig zags its way out of the Cuzco Valley, before travelling along the banks of the Urubamba River. The nearest village to Machu Picchu is called Aguas Calientes and this is where you will leave the train and drop your bags off at your hotel, and then take a 25-minute bus ride up to the site (included). Your first views will be of Huayna Picchu (“Young Mountain”), which towers above the ruins. It is possible to climb this mountain but it is a hard climb to the spectacular view from the top (takes about 50 minutes). Before you enter the site there is a cafeteria, luggage storage and toilets. Your local guide will give you an approx 2½ hour guided walking tour of the ruins explaining all about the culture, the buildings and the lifestyle of the Incas. After your tour you will then have free time to explore the ruins at your leisure. You will be issued with a transfer ticket and you can catch the bus down to the town of Aguas Calientes. Depending on the amount of time you wish to have at the ruins will determine if you have time to visit the nearby hot springs (entrance fee not included), located just behind the town of Aguas Calientes.
Free time for meals.

Day 02: Aguas Calientes – Cusco.
This morning is free for you to visit the hot springs or visit Machu Picchu (instead of on Day 1). Alternatively you may wish to visit the ruins twice although only one entrance ticket and return bus ticket is included in the tour price. Most trains depart Aguas Calientes between 4.00pm and 5.20pm and the return train journey will take approx 4½ hours, arriving in Cusco sometime between 8.30 – 9.30pm.
Free time for meals.

*Optional: For lunch at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge instead of box-lunch, add $32.00 to the tour price.
