Itinerary

Day 1: Cusco/Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu

Early morning (exact time to be confirmed one day before) you will be transferred by our driver from your hotel to the Ollantaytambo Train Station, where you will board the Upgraded Vistadome Train to Machu Picchu Town, better known as Aguas Calientes, home to the area’s natural hot springs.
Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, we will meet you at the train station and take the 25-minute bus journey up the hillside to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site of Machu Picchu.
Once there, head inside with your guide to explore the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu on a complete guided tour of this amazing site.
If you are interested in hiking, you can add the Sun Gate Hike to your Guided Tour (2-hour round trip, gentle hike) OR the Inca Bridge Hike (1-hour round trip hike).
At the end of your tour, you return to Aguas Calientes town and board the train back to Ollantaytambo, where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Cusco, Urubamba or Ollantaytambo.

Many Travelers like to do an extra hike at Machupicchu so you can extend your visiting time to up to 6 – 7 Hours by doing the following optional Hikes:
Hike to the Sun Gate – Also we called as Inti Punku wich is quechua lenguage, it was one of the main entrance to Machu Picchu. The hike takes about 2.5 Hours round-trip and it follows an original Inca Trail that gradually climbs from Machu Picchu’s agricultural terraces.
Hike to Huaynapicchu Mountain (Tickets Need to be booked in advance the spaces are LIMITED) – One of the most popular hikes at Machupicchu; which takes to a view point overlooking the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. The hike takes about 2.5 – 3 Hours round-trip
Hike to Machupicchu Montaña (Tickets Need to be booked in advance as spaces are LIMITED) – A quite demanding Trek avalailable, the hike . takes about 3 – 3.5 Hours round-trip where the views from the top is amazing.
This Tour starts in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town) So you need to get your Train Ticket to Aguas Calientes by your own.
Machupicchu Entry Time: We will book the admission tickets upon your request (You can choose any entry time from 6 AM to 2 PM)
OTHERWISE, Upon your Train arrival time (in case you are on a day trip from Cusco or Sacred Valley) – *If you willing to avoid most of the crowds, We recommend the afternoon time after 12 PM as it is less crowded.

 Verified Experiencia 10/10
Ha sido una experiencia de 10, impresionante el camino inka y la explicación de la ciudadela de Machu Picchu. Todo esto ha sido tan especial gracias a la dedicación y conocimiento de nuestro guía Jimmy. Ha hecho el contacto súper fácil para la gestión de la reserva, siempre disponible, una vez en Perú estuvo con nosotros el primer día para explicarnos todos los detalles y durante la visita y camino sus explicaciones han sido impecables, mejorando aún más si cabe la experiencia. Le estamos muy muy agradecidos.

 Verified An Unforgettable Trek, Flawlessly Organized
From start to finish, our experience with Machu Picchu Center was extremely professional. Immediately after booking, we received a detailed itinerary and all the e-tickets we would need, and the team was always available by email to answer questions as we prepared for our arrival in Cusco. The entire experience was incredibly well organized. From the pick-up and transfers to guidance about equipment and what we would need for the trek, everything was taken care of, allowing us simply to enjoy the experience. A very special mention goes to our wonderful guide, Jimmy, who met us at the train station and stayed with us throughout the day. He was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and, above all, incredibly supportive — especially during the more challenging moments of the climb. His encouragement and help made a real difference. The trek itself is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful experiences in the world, and having such a professional and caring team made it even more memorable. The only area that could perhaps be improved was the briefing the evening before the trek, which we found a little unclear. However, once the day began, everything ran flawlessly. A truly unforgettable experience, beautifully organized by an excellent team. Highly recommended!

 Verified Lifelong adventure!
I lead a group from Los Angeles and brought along 16 kids ages 15- 21. As I prepared the trip, one of my biggest concerns was who would the tour guide would be like. I have to say that the success of my trip was in part due to Mr. Jimmy. He was knowledgeable, passionate and and an overall great human being. Mr. Jimmy understood my group’s concerns and acted patiently and supportive, specifically during an emergency situation when one of my students got dangerously ill before getting to Puno. His assistant and coordination with ambulance, hospital and hotel, allowed me to focus on my student. I will be forever grateful for his support and encouragement. In short, if you’re planning on going to Peru anytime soon or in the future, make sure to go with Mr. Jimmy.
