Early in the morning around 4:00 a.m. we will pick you up from your hotel in Cuzco and transfer you on a tourist bus to Ollantaytambo train station, where the train will take you to the station of Aguas Calientes in about 1.5 hours. When we arrive there, we will take the bus for about 30 minutes up to the Inca city of Machu Picchu. After leaving our backpacks (for 5 dollars), we will have free time with beautiful sights on the Machu Picchu ruins. After the free time, we are allowed to enter Machu Picchu itself for a maximum duration of 2 hours, due to new regulations. You can either join a guided tour or visit the town by yourself. During the stay, you can visit important archaeological sites such as the agricultural sector, the main plaza and the Inti Watana. After 2 hours – at around 1 p.m. – we will take the bus back down to the town of Aguas Calientes. Here we have time to eat something (it is possible to pre-book lunch with us), and visit the little, picturesque town. In the afternoon we will board the train back to Ollantaytambo station, where we are waiting for you with transportation to Cuzco. We will be back in Cuzco around midnight.
