One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu deserves all the attention that it gets for being an engineering and architectural masterpiece. Visitors will be impressed by the many plazas, temples, houses, storage facilities, sun dials, and stairs that still maintain their structure more than 500 years later despite constant exposure to intense weather and earthquakes. The natural surroundings only add to an already stunning view and no trip to Peru is complete without a visit to this sanctuary.
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure as we take you on a journey to the ancient wonders of Machu Picchu. Your day begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Cusco, followed by a drive to the train station in Cusco or Ollantaytambo.
Once aboard the train to Aguas Calientes, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Peruvian countryside and the majestic Andes. From Aguas Calientes, a short 30-minute bus ride will take you to the gates of Machu Picchu, where a professional guide will lead you through the magnificent citadel.
During the guided tour, which takes around 2 hours, your bilingual guide will provide fascinating insights into the historical sanctuary, revealing the secrets of Inca architecture and their way of life. Traverse through the ancient terraces, temples, and dwellings, and be captivated by the precise stone masonry and celestial alignments that have puzzled historians for centuries.
After the tour, you’ll descend back to Aguas Calientes, a town which is reknowned for its hot springs. If you’d like, you can take some time to relax and rejuvenate here, soaking in the therapeutic waters before enjoying a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants or exploring the vibrant markets in search of souvenirs. Finally, you’ll catch the train back to Cusco, where the day’s adventures come to a close as you return to your hotel in the evening.
