The Machu Picchu train tour, will begin by collecting you up at 8:00 am (to be confirmed) and take you to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Often, the train leaves at 11:30 am (the time may change depending on availability). After a 3.5-hour journey of majestic views of the Sacred Valley you arrive to Aguas Calientes (Hot Springs Town) where you will spend the night. The surroundings of this town are in the middle of a deep and green valley crossed by a river. If you decide to try the local natural hot springs can do so as you will not visit Machu Picchu until the following day. We also suggest to do the following in Aguas Calientes: Visit the Machu Picchu 'Manuel Chávez Ballón' museum and orchid exhibition. This is open from 9am to 4.30pm, and is a 35 minute walk down the road from Aguas Calientes to Puente Ruinas. It is a very illustrative museum that gives you an interesting introduction to Machu Picchu.
