Machu Picchu at Noon Day Trip from Cusco

Meeting Point

Santuario Historico de Machu Picchu

Completed in approximately 1450 at the height of the Incan empire, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later following the Spanish conquest of Peru. Today it is considered by many to be the new spiritual center of the world. From Cusco, you'll be transferred to the railway station to enjoy your 1.5-hour scenic rail tour to Aguas Calientes. We arrive at the Aguas Calientes station where our staff will assist us on boarding the bus to go up the winding road to Machu Picchu, amid a spectacular view of the Urubamba River and its canyon. The Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu, will astonish us with its terraces, ceremonial shrines, steps and urban areas. Energy is all around us. After the visit, we will go down to Aguas Calientes town where we will take our box lunch. At the arranged time, we will take the train back to Ollantaytambo train station where our staff will wait for us to transfer back to Cusco city. The Expedition option was created for adventurous passengers seeking comfort and security without the extra frills.
