Your Unforgettable Full Day to Machu Picchu

Your experience begins with an early pickup at 4:00 a.m. directly from your hotel in Cusco (11,152 ft / 3,400 m). You will travel comfortably in our private van through the Sacred Valley to the Ollantaytambo (9,160 ft / 2,792 m) train station, arriving around 5:40 a.m.

Here, you will board the train to Aguas Calientes. During the nearly 2-hour journey, enjoy panoramic views as the landscape dramatically shifts from Andean mountains to lush cloud forest vegetation.

Upon your arrival at the Aguas Calientes (6,692 ft / 2,040 m) train station, your expert guide will be waiting for you. Together, you will head to the Consettur bus station for the final ascent. It will be a 25-minute journey up the Hiram Bingham highway to the entrance of the wonder.

 (Circuit 2) Upon arriving at the Machu Picchu, Historical Sanctuary (7,972 ft / 2,430 m), we will enter using Circuit 2 (Classic Route), the most complete and sought-after tour.

Your guide will first take you to the strategic viewpoints to capture the iconic postcard photo with the citadel in the background. Then, you will explore the temples, plazas, and urban sectors during a 2-hour guided tour, immersing you in the history and mysteries of the Incas.

Optional: Huayna Picchu Mountain If you booked the add-on ticket in advance, you will begin your extra hike to the summit of Huayna Picchu (8,835 ft / 2,693 m) after your guided tour. Note: This requires prior schedule coordination.

Part 4: Lunch & Return After the tour, we recommend taking the bus back down to Aguas Calientes at least 2 hours before your train’s departure. There, your guide will accompany you to a trusted local restaurant for lunch (note: lunch is not included, giving you the freedom to choose).

Part 5: Premium Door-to-Door Service After saying goodbye to your guide, you will board the return train to Ollantaytambo (a 2-hour trip). Upon arrival at the station, your Ali Peru Treks driver will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name.

We will transport you in our private van directly back to Cusco. As we specialize in «door-to-door» service, we will drop you off safely at your hotel for a well-deserved rest.
