Day 1: Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes:
Transfer by car/van (approx. 3:45am) to Ollantaytambo Train Station (Train leaves at 6:10 am). The train ride consists of spectacular views in this wonderful land of the Incas and amazing landscapes of mountains and valleys. You will also see Inca farming terraces on both sides of the valley, snow capped mountains and sub-tropical jungle. Your guide will meet you at the train station and transfer you to the bus for a 25-minute ride to Machu Picchu. A guided tour of Machu Picchu takes approx 2 hrs and then you have some free time for photos and independent exploration.

Machu Picchu is the lost city of the Incas€ where the last emperors, priests, and priestesses took refuge, and where the empire survived for 40 years after the arrival of the Spaniards. The history is secretive and mysterious.

Following your day in Machu Picchu, you will walk back down to Aguas Calientes to catch the train to Ollantaytambo (at the time indicated on your train ticket).
