Machu Picchu by Train Full Day

Tours to Machu Picchu by train are a mysterious way to reach the lost citadel of the Incas. Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the world most visited by tourists. This tour trip to Machu Picchu from Cusco is the cheapest option to see the Machu Picchu that has beautiful stone-based constructions carved with great precision and detail; it is the most important work for the Incas for having been built on a rugged and inaccessible mountain.

In the Machu Picchu 1 day Tour, you will be able to appreciate the land spaces of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the subtropical flora and fauna, as well as the beautiful landscapes closest to Machu Picchu.

Departure & Return Location:

Hotel Cusco.

Departure Time:

Itinerary

Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco.

Early in the morning, a representative from the Huaynas Expeditions agency will pick you up at your hotel. After complying with the established protocols, we will take a tourist bus to go to the Ollantaytambo train station and board the Expedition train that will take us in 1 hour and 45 minutes to the town of Machu Picchu.

Once there we go to the bus station to go up in about 40 minutes to the Sacred Inca City of Machu Picchu that awaits us with its imposing and stony peace, which can only be experienced because there are no words that can describe this place and the impressive landscape that surrounds it. During the guided tour, our guide will tell you about the history and myths of Machu Picchu, revealing the secrets that surround this architectural marvel that is one of the most magical and mysterious places in the world.

The tour will last about two hours with enough time for photos, and for you to enjoy our Wonder, then we will leave Machu Picchu, to go to the town waiting for our return train.

The Inca City of Machu Picchu is located 2,430 meters above sea level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, and a natural environment of extraordinary beauty. Furthermore, it is probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height.

The natural environment of Machu Picchu, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the Upper Amazon River Basin, with its rich diversity of flora and fauna. Due to its location and type of climate, this area is frequently shrouded in clouds of fog crossed by the light of the equatorial sun.

In the afternoon/evening, we will board the train to return to Cusco. Arriving in Ollantaytambo, we will ensure your reception and transfer to the city of Cusco.
