1 Day in Machu Picchu Safe and Accompanied
The experience begins early in Cusco with pickup from your accommodation. We embark on a two-hour journey to Ollantaytambo, crossing Andean landscapes, traditional villages, and rivers that shape the Sacred Valley. There, the team will accompany you to the station to board the train to Aguas Calientes. The train journey, which takes almost 1 hour and 30 minutes, immerses you in a setting of mountains and high jungle. Upon arrival, a representative will greet you and guide you to the minibus, which will take you through the curves and greenery to the entrance of Machu Picchu in 25 minutes. A 3-hour guided tour takes you through temples, terraces, and viewpoints, revealing the soul of this sacred city. Back in Aguas Calientes, you'll have free time for lunch, rest, or exploring. Finally, you board the train back to Ollantaytambo, and then the transport takes you to Cusco, concluding a magical day filled with living history, nature, and a spiritual connection with the Andes.
