Upon your arrival in Cusco, your two-day private tour begins as you are picked up from the airport and taken to your hotel to drop off your luggage. While checking in, you'll be greeted with coca tea, which helps defeat altitude sickness. Then it's straight to the train station for your Machu Picchu day trip!
The Vistadome train is a comfortable way to journey to Machu Picchu. Renovated carriages have beautiful panoramic windows to make the most of the spectacular scenery and allow for fantastic photo opportunities. Delicious snacks, as well as hot and cold refreshments, are served on the way.
Upon arrival at Aguas Calientes station, you'll board a small bus and head up to the ruins of the “sacred city”, Machu Picchu. Your expert guide will walk with you through the main streets of these amazing ruins. Stroll through town squares and climb delicately carved stone stairways. Esoteric wisdom holds Machu Picchu as the new spiritual center of the world. There will be time to be alone and fully embrace this magnificent wonder of the world, letting this once-in-a-lifetime experience set in. Hiking the ruins is sure to work up an appetite so there will be a buffet lunch at the Sanctuary Lodge (the only lodge and restaurant at the top of the mountain) waiting for you.
In the afternoon, you'll return to the train station in Aguas Calientes and board the Vistadome train for the trip back to Cusco. The following day, after breakfast, you'll be taken back to the airport for your return flight to Lima.
Please note:
You must take the first flight into Cusco in order to catch the train to Machu Picchu.
