Itinerary

Day 1

DAILY DEPARTURES

Your adventure begins very early when we pick you up at 04:00 am from your hotel and then take you to Ollantaytambo on our private bus. Here you will take the train at 06:40 am.
(According to the train availability it may also be possible for us to pick you up at 05:00 am and then bring you to the Proroy Train Station from where you take the train to Machu Picchu.)
You will then arrive at Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town) around 08:10 am to 08:48 am – it’s also possible to take a later train if you like! Enjoy the incredible journey of 2 hours on the train with its panoramic windows where you can observe the Urubamba River descending from the high valley down to the cloud forest at 2000 meters. The landscape changes drastically in front of your eyes! You will be amazed to see the tropical mountain ending in a snow carpet and the small waterfalls shimmering on the hills, forming small rivers flowing to converge at the Sacred River.

Our Green Peru Adventures tour guide will pick you up at the local train station and take you to the bus terminal from where your way to the majestic citadel continues.

Your bilingual tour guide will take you around the vast ruins for about 2.5 hours, comprehensively explaining the historical significance of Machu Picchu and its importance in the Inca Empire.

Machu Picchu is the best known of all the Inca Archaeological sites, as it is recognized worldwide as one of the new seven wonders, even though it’s not mentioned in any handwritten Chronicle of the Spanish Conquerors. Experts believe that Machu Picchu was constructed around the mid-15th century by Inca Pachacuteq and was rediscovered in 1911 by American historian Hiram Bingham.

The guided tour of this fascinating site will be an unforgettable experience, visiting the Main Square, the Royal Quarters, The Temple of the Three Windows, the Circular Sun Tower, the Sacred Sun Dial (Intihuatana), and the Burial Grounds.

A frequent bus service takes visitors back to Aguas Calientes (included) at any time. If you prefer, take a walk down through the jungle – it will take you roughly 45 minutes.

In the late afternoon at 4.12 pm, you take the train back to Ollantaytambo and then a tourist transport to Cusco.
