Explore the Andes and Machu Picchu on this day trip to one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Description

We'll pick you up at your hotel early in the morning and travel to the Ollantaytambo train station to board the train to Aguas Calientes. The train journey, lasting an hour and a half, passes through stunning Andean landscapes, with great views from the glass roof of the train. Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, we will take a bus to Machu Picchu, where a 2.5-hour guided tour will provide insights into the history and grandeur of the Incan civilization.

After the tour, you'll have five hours of free time to explore Aguas Calientes before regrouping at the train station for our return trip to Ollantaytambo. The excursion concludes at your hotel between 6 and 7 pm.
