About this activity

The Machu Picchu Day Tour is a memorable journey to one of Peru’s most remarkable archaeological sites, Machu Picchu. On the trip we pass by the magnificent Sacred Valley with its mountainous Andean scenes and winding Urubamba River. The whole process is also relaxing and motivating but with a smooth flowing schedule throughout.

We come out early in the morning and so the day starts in an organized manner. The tour goes on through a scenic train ride which runs between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes. Once there, we get time to stretch, sightseeing the town or even have a coffee before moving on. Then it is a short bus that takes us to the entrance of Machu Picchu.

An exploration of Machu Picchu is an unusual experience. On a guided tour, we are going to learn its history, structure, and the work of the genius of Inca engineering visiting its central terraces, temples, and outlooks. The tour provides a strong sense of their history and a permanent impression of this magnificent place.
