Private Tour Details

We will meet at the time of your choice at the Aguas Calientes train station and take the bus to Machu Picchu for a guided tour of the iconic ruins. Machu Picchu was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981.

After a 30 to 45-minute journey, we will reach over 7874 feet (2400 meters) of altitude, where the lost city of the Incas will be revealed in the heart of the Andes.

The enormous enclosure spans almost 92200 acres (37302 hectares) and is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. A 2.5 to 3-hour guided tour will delve into the history of this city, believed to be the residence of Pachacútec, the ninth sovereign of the Inca Empire, alongside many other fascinating facts.

During the tour, you will explore the streets and passages of each of the 60 monuments surrounding the main square of Machu Picchu. The tour will conclude with a return by minibus to the starting point, after an adventure lasting 4 to 4 hours and 15 minutes.

It is recommended to book tickets to the Citadel of Machu Picchu at least a month in advance due to limited spaces.
