Machu Picchu Wayna Tour in one day 1 Day

At 05:30 a.m., our representative will pick you up at your hotel in Cusco and take you in a private vehicle to the Ollantaytambo station to board the train to Aguas Calientes, a charming town near the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. The train trip, which lasts around 2 hours, offers spectacular views that combine the beauty of the mountains and the jungle. The train gradually descends to 2100 meters above sea level, following the course of the Urubamba River. This route is one of the most impressive in Peru due to its incomparable landscapes.

Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, a member of our team will meet you at the station and guide you to the bus stop that will take you uphill to the ruins of Machu Picchu. This short bus ride of about 20 minutes takes you along a steep, winding unpaved road through a mountain with lush vegetation and stunning views.

Finally, we will arrive at the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, where our local guide will take us on a 2-hour tour of the most notable places of this beautiful Inca citadel. We will explore the agricultural area, with its sets of cultivation terraces, as well as the urban area where the ancient inhabitants lived and where the main civil and religious activities took place. We will also visit the Intiwatana of Machu Picchu, located in the highest part of the citadel, along with the temple of the sun, the temple of the condor and other significant sectors.

After the guided tour, you will have free time to explore the city on your own. Around 1:00 p.m., we will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes, where you can have lunch. In the afternoon, we will return by train to the city of Ollantaytambo. Upon arrival at the Ollantaytambo station, a Mystery Peru representative will be waiting for you and will transport you in a private vehicle back to the city of Cusco. The journey to Cusco takes approximately an hour and a half. Upon arrival in Cusco, our driver will drop you off at your hotel.
