We will pick you up from your hotel around 9:50 am to take you to Ollantaytambo, a 2 hours ride from Cusco (exact time of your pick-up will depend on the time you choose for your train). On the comfortable journey, you’ll pass through the Sacred Valley and enjoy breathtaking views, such as glacier peaks, green lush valleys and many Inca farming terraces in both sites of the valley. You’ll also be able to see some Inca ruins at km 82, where the classic Inca trail begins. You will then arrive in Aguas Calientes (2000 masl), also known as Machu Picchu pueblo, where you will be picked up and escorted to your hotel. You will then have a free afternoon to decide how you want to explore the town. We recommend to visit the hot springs, Mandor Gardens, or the waterfalls.
