ITINERARY

DAY 1 :

Cusco To Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town)

This tour will begin picking you up at 8:00 am (to be confirmed) and take you to the train station. Often the train leaves at 11:30 am (time may change depending on availability and timetable changes). After a 3 and half hour journey of majestic views of the Sacred Valley, you arrive to Aguas Calientes (Hot Springs Town) where you will spend the night.

Aguas Calientes is a town that has grown due to its proximity to Machu Picchu; it has many cafes, restaurants to choose from.  The surroundings of this town are in the middle of a deep and green valley crossed by a river.

We also suggest to do the following in Aguas Calientes:

Visit the Machu Picchu 'Manuel Chávez Ballón' museum and orchid exhibition. This is open from 9 am to 4.0pm, and is a 35-minute walk down the road from Aguas Calientes to Puente Ruinas. It is a very illustrative museum that gives you an interesting introduction to Machu Picchu.
