Discover what awaits you in the Machu Picchu By Train + Waynapicchu Full Day
day 1
Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Machu Picchu
The Machu Picchu and Huaynapicchu tour begins very early, with pick-up at your hotel in Cusco between 3:50 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. to head to Ollantaytambo train station, from where we’ll take the tourist train bound for Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes). During the journey, you can enjoy the landscapes of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the Urubamba River.
Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, we’ll board the Consettur bus, which will take us 25 minutes to the Machu Picchu Citadel. Here we’ll take a guided tour of approximately 2 hours, touring the temples, terraces, and main sectors of the sanctuary.
Then we’ll begin the exciting hike to Huaynapicchu mountain, one of the most outstanding attractions. The ascent takes around 2 hours, and at the summit, you can stay a maximum of 30 minutes to take photographs and enjoy a unique view of Machu Picchu and its surroundings.
After the descent, we’ll return by bus to Machu Picchu Pueblo, where we’ll have free time to stroll through the town, enjoy local cuisine, or, if desired, relax in the Machu Picchu hot springs. Finally, we’ll board the tourist train back to Ollantaytambo station and then transportation to Cusco, arriving at approximately 10:00 p.m.

Recomendations
When to go to Machu Picchu?
- To plan the tour to Machu Picchu, first decide the season in which you will visit Cusco in Peru.
- There are 2 seasons in Cusco: the dry season (April to October) where there is not much rain and the rainy season (November to March) where fluvial rainfall is more frequent.
- Once you have decided on the date you want to visit the Wonder of the World, buy tickets to Machu Picchu in advance.
- Make the reservation of the Machu Picchu entrance with time in advance. So you can better plan tours, hotel reservations, trains, flights and more.
- If you are going to do the Inca Trail, book your tour 4, 5 or 6 months in advance. Otherwise you will not find availability.
- The entrance ticket to the Huayna Picchu mountain must also be purchased up to 3 months before.
- Remember to have your passport and identity document in order: check the expiration date.
