Itinerary tour to Machu Picchu by scenic train

  • On this special day, our team will pick you up in the morning directly from your accommodation in Cusco (the exact time will depend on your location). Aboard our private transport, we will begin the journey to the train station, crossing the impressive Andes mountain range. Along the way, you will enjoy natural landscapes, farmland, and traditional Andean villages that still preserve their living essence.
  • Upon arrival at the Ollantaytambo station, we will wait for the moment to board the tourist train that will take you to the town of Aguas Calientes. This approximately 2-hour journey is an experience in itself: a visual tour through the Sacred Valley, surrounded by mountains, rivers, agricultural terraces, and unique flora and fauna.
  • Once in Aguas Calientes, our staff will welcome you and escort you to your hotel. You will have the afternoon free to rest or explore this charming town, famous for its narrow streets, peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to the Inca citadel. If you wish, you may also visit the relaxing natural hot springs, perfect for renewing your energy before your visit to Machu Picchu the following day.
    • Accommodation: Hotel in Aguas Calientes.
  • Breakfast at the hotel in Aguas Calientes.
  • To experience the magic of Machu Picchu at its best and avoid the crowds, we will begin the day very early. After a revitalizing breakfast at the hotel, we will head with our guide to the ecological bus station that will take us, on a ride of approximately 30 minutes, to the entrance of the sanctuary.
  • Upon arrival, we will enter this jewel of the Andean world: Machu Picchu, the ancient sacred city of the Incas. The energy of the place can be felt from the very first step, surrounded by towering mountains and landscapes that awaken inner connection.
  • During a guided tour of approximately 2 hours, we will explore the main sectors of the citadel. We will learn about its history, architecture, and the deep spiritual meaning that surrounds every corner of this ancestral legacy.
  • At the end of the visit, we will return to the town of Aguas Calientes for lunch and to share impressions of this transformative experience. Later, we will take the train back to Ollantaytambo, where private transport will be waiting to take us back to the city of Cusco, dropping you off at your hotel and concluding the day with your transfer.
    • Meals: Breakfast at the hotel in Aguas Calientes.

Recommendations

To ensure your experience at Machu Picchu is smooth and hassle-free, here are some essential tips to keep in mind before and during your trip:

Advance Ticket Purchase

  • Purchase your Machu Picchu entry tickets and train tickets in advance, especially if you plan to visit between May and September, considered high season. Availability can sell out quickly.

Mandatory Documentation

  • Always carry a valid ID: passport, national ID, or student card (if applying for the student rate). This will be required both to enter the sanctuary and to board the train.

Punctuality at the Train Station

  • You must arrive at the train station at least 30 minutes before departure time. Remember to present your physical or digital ticket along with your ID. Without both documents, you will not be allowed to board.

Currency and Cash

  • It is recommended to carry cash in Peruvian soles and, if possible, small US dollar bills as well. Many establishments in Aguas Calientes do not accept cards, although ATMs can be found in Cusco, Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu Town.

Best Visiting Hours

  • The busiest time is between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.. For a more peaceful experience, it is suggested to enter very early in the morning or in the afternoon shifts, when there are fewer visitors.

Immigration Requirements

  • If you are a citizen of the United States or the European Union, you do not need a visa to enter Peru for stays of up to 90 days.
  • Travelers from Andean Community countries (such as Colombia, Ecuador, or Bolivia) may enter with just their national ID.
