Your journey starts early in the morning with a transfer from your hotel in Cusco to the town of Ollantaytambo. This scenic drive takes around 1.5 hours and passes through the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley. Along the way, you'll see impressive Andean mountains, green valleys, and traditional farmlands, an ideal introduction to the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region

Upon arrival in Ollantaytambo, you’ll board a tourist train that travels through the picturesque Urubamba Valley. The train ride lasts about 1.5 hours and follows the river’s path as it winds through lush, mountainous terrain. With stunning views of the cloud forest and towering Andean peaks, this scenic journey perfectly sets the mood for your upcoming visit to Machu Picchu.

Once you arrive in Aguas Calientes, our local team will meet you at the station and escort you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to explore this charming mountain town at your own pace. You might choose to soak in the relaxing hot springs, browse the artisan market for souvenirs, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many local or international restaurants (meals not included). In the evening, you’ll spend the night in a comfortable hotel with a private bathroom and hot water, resting up for your visit to Machu Picchu the following day.
