This 2-day tour to Machu Picchu begins around 05:30 am, when you are picked up at your Cusco hotel and driven to the railway station. Board a train for a 2-hour ride through Peru's spectacular, changing landscapes. Pass through lush fields and colorful villages in the foothills of the Andes, and take in views of the majestic mountains and the Urubamba River as it runs through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Spend the afternoon exploring Aguas Calientes, the town just below Machu Picchu. Take in the marketplace or visit the thermal baths at your own expense before returning to your hotel.
