03 Days Cusco - Machu Picchu.

Highlight of the day: Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty and rich history of Machu Picchu with our full-day tour, ensuring a truly memorable experience.

On this day, we will wake up early, around 4:00 a.m., take the VAN, and head to Ollantaytambo station which is a town located 90 minutes from Cusco. As soon as we arrive at Ollantaytambo, we will take the train to Aguas Calientes. This train route lasts around 2 hours.

Once we’re in Aguas Calientes, the following step is to take a bus that leads directly to the Machu Picchu entrance. After presenting our ticket and passport at the entrance, our guide will begin his description of the history of this Inca wonder while we visit the most important sectors of Machu Picchu such as the classic viewpoint, the Guardian’s House, the Temple of the Sun viewpoint, the Sacred Rock or the Water Mirrors Set.

At the end of your guided tour, you will have time to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, if you have only purchased an entrance ticket for either of these places. These extra routes in Machu Picchu are optional, cost additional money, and must be booked in advance due to maximum capacity.

After finishing your visit to the wonder of the world, you will return by bus to Aguas Calientes for lunch. Once you have finished your lunch, you will board the train to return to Ollantaytambo, and finally continue in our transport to your hotel in Cusco city.

The Cusco region and the entire Andean area, in general, are limited to two seasons: the rainy and dry season. These are present in areas such as the cloud forest (Machu Picchu or Inca Jungle) where the weather is warmer because of being jungle. The rainy season lasts approximately five months (November to March), and during these months there is a lot of rain. Meanwhile, the dry season lasts from April to October, when blue skies are common, making these months ideal for visiting.

Note: April and November are considered transition months, which can be months of unpredictable weather.

This fascinating tour starts and ends at Cusco’s airport or bus station. Remember that our tour includes pick-up and drop-off services. So, do not worry about transport from the airport to your hotel or vice versa.

It is advisable to travel to Peru carrying U.S. dollars. It is recommended that you look for an exchange house with a reasonable exchange rate. Airport exchange rates are often bad.

It is recommended that you exchange your currency with dollars (Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Argentinean pesos, etc.). Once in Cusco city, the exchange rate for non-dollar currencies is usually lower.

The most convenient place to sell your dollars is Sun Av. This avenue is near the Main Square and there are a lot of exchange houses on it. However, our staff is always available to give you guidance on this matter.

You should take Peruvian soles with you since most tourist businesses accept soles and a few dollars during the tour.

On the other hand, if you are only one person, you must pay an individual supplement for your accommodation in the hotel. This is due to the fact that the price of a single room and a double room in Peru is almost the same. It is necessary to contact our sales agents to provide these details regarding the type of accommodation.

The accommodation we provide in Lima is the Miramar Hotel; in Cusco is the Ayni Cusco Hotel, Monasterio San Pedro or similar; in Aguas Calientes is the Golden Sunrise Hotel; in Puno is the Royal Inn Hotel, Kalayasa or similar. All of them are 3-star accommodations.

For convenience and comfort, it is recommended to leave your heavy luggage at your Cusco accommodation. Most hotels offer luggage storage services for free.

You must carry no more than 5 kilos of luggage on the second day of your train trip. For this reason, and for your comfort you should only carry a daypack with the necessary items to spend the day in Machu Picchu while you are away from your hotel in Cusco.

Because of factors outside the control of the travel agency, these tours are non-refundable. We arrange all visits and tours months in advance of your trip to secure tickets and fares. Check out our trems and conditions. 

Travel agencies are not always allowed to choose seats in train cars from Peru Rail or Inca Rail, all seats are allocated and purchased based on availability. Tickets will always be purchased based on your travel date, rather than the specific number of seats.

Both trains make the same trip during the same period of time, along the same train tracks, and on very similar schedules. However, the Vistadome is a little more comfortable than the Expedition train service. The windows and ceilings of the Vistadome train are wider than those of the Expedition train. There are also slightly larger spaces between seats in the Vistadome. Finally, another difference is that the Vistadome service from Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town) to Ollantaytambo offers a dance show and a fashion show with baby alpaca garments.

Those factors will make your trip easier to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
