Overview

The Full-Day Machu Picchu is the best option for those short on time who want to experience one of the wonders of the modern world in a single day. This tour begins very early in Cusco, with a transfer to the train station in Ollantaytambo or Poroy. From there, a panoramic tour begins through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Once in town, you’ll board the bus that ascends the mountain to the Inca citadel. There, a professional guide will lead you through the main areas of Machu Picchu: the Sacred Plaza, the Intihuatana, the temples, and agricultural terraces. For approximately two hours, you’ll discover the history and mysteries surrounding this UNESCO World Heritage Site, considered one of the world’s greatest travel experiences. The Full-Day Machu Picchu tour is designed to maximize your time, combining comfort and efficient organization. At the end of the guided tour, you’ll have free time to explore on your own, take unforgettable photographs, and connect with the special energy of this ancient citadel before returning to Cusco in the afternoon. For those who wish to extend their experience in the region, an excellent option is the 2D/1N Machu Picchu + Sacred Valley Tour, which combines history and Andean landscapes. If you prefer adventure, you can opt for the 5D/4N Inca Trail or experience the excitement of the Salkantay Trek, which leads to the citadel along unique trekking routes.
