Day 1Cusco - Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu Full Day Trip from Cusco, Depart from Cusco City in the morning, with pickup from your hotel and a transfer from the city center to your chosen train station.

Arrive in city of Aguas Calientes, the small village located at the base of this famous Inca site, and board a bus together with your Guide for the short ride about half an hour to this sacred citadel. Completed around 1450, when the Inca Empire was at the peak of its power and influence, the site was left vacant within 100 years of its creation, thanks to the conquest of the Inca people by the Spanish. Though the site today remains abandoned, many believe Machu Picchu to be a key center of spiritual energy.
Follow your guide through the main streets of this marvel of ancient engineering. Learn about the site’s history and design as you meander through its town square, key religious sites, elaborate network of agricultural terraces and intricately-designed stone staircases.
