Itinerary
To visit Machu Picchu we must get up early, it is a bit long, but very rewarding to see a wonderful citadel built with huge stones. The tour starts very early...
04:00 am - Hotel pick-up to transfer to the train station located in Ollantaytambo, the journey takes bus or cars and takes approximately two hours. 06:10 am - Board the train to the village of Aguas Calientes.
08:30 am - Arrival in the village of Aguas Calientes, known as Machu Picchu Pueblo. Upon arrival, a staff from our agency will be waiting for you and your companions to begin the tour to our world wonder. First, you'll have a few minutes to grab a little snack, buy something or maybe use the bathrooms. 10:00 am - We will board the bus that will take us to the Inca citadel, this trip takes approximately 25 minutes.
Upon arrival at the entrance control, we must join the group guided by our official guide. 11:00 am - Entrance to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu (if you have an entrance ticket to any of the mountains, entry is earlier, you must coordinate it with the guide or your travel agent a day before). We start the tour on a path that will take us to the first terrace, where we can take the classic photo of Machu Picchu. Simply a wonderful view, now yes, to enjoy! By averaging 2:00 pm, we will be finishing the guided tour, giving you time to explore the corners where some photos were missing... If you wish, you can review the lunch options we have for that day.
04:30 pm - Bus back to the town of Aguas Calientes, you must leave the citadel and wait your turn to get on the bus. When you arrive in the village, you will have a few hours to explore the artisan market or take a walk through its narrow streets. If you wish to have lunch, we recommend the Alpakitay tourist restaurant, which is located in the village and has a beautiful view towards the river. One very important fact: if they say they are going on behalf of our agency My Cusco Trip, they will give them a complimentary pisco sour.
09:00 pm - Board at Machu Picchu Pueblo train station. 09:30 pm - Departure of the train that will take us back to Ollantaytambo station. 11:00 pm - We will arrive at Ollantaytambo train station. Upon leaving the station, an agent from our agency will be waiting to board you on the bus back to Cusco. They should keep in mind that when leaving the station there are many people, do not despair and, calmly, look for the transfer or driver waiting for them. They can identify you by the sign with your name or by the flame icon with glasses.
12:45 am - We will arrive in Cusco, the arrival point where we will disembark is in Plaza San Francisco (three blocks from the central Plaza de Armas). From there they must walk or take a taxi to reach the hotel they have booked, which will be waiting for them with the room ready for a well-deserved rest after such a fascinating adventure.

Swindler He left us abandoned in Machu Pichu, we had to pay again for the ticket, transfers, etc. He never answered the phones again, we filed a complaint for missing passengers, he still hasn't returned the money Jeffersson scammer
Seven truly wonderful days, always very friendly attention from Jefferson and his team, also fulfilling what was promised, details in the minimal and normal logistics of a trip.
The best travel experience!! We went early and it was totally cloudy, in minutes I cleared the sky and we could enjoy the great scenery of MachuPicchu.. Thank you to My Cuzco Trip for the good Service. Jeferson and Lisbeth excellent care!!
It was a very long day but it was a wonderful tour. My only complaint was the bus ride back was crowded.
Of course seeing Machu Piccu was absolutely incredible!! Nothing could have hampered the experience. The weather was perfect. The entire day was unnecessarily drawn out. First it took forever to get our itinerary. We ended up waiting for the person to show up for about 3 hours. I was worried they weren’t going to come at all. We were picked up as promised at 4am...ride to the train station was good. We were an hour early for the train so we had to wait. When we arrived at Machu Piccu base , we had to wait another 2 hours before we boarded the bus. Everything was great for the tour however, we had to wait until 8 pm for our train. We got back to Machu Piccu base by 3pm. That’s a long time to wait around in a small town. It was excessive for sure. Our van home was packed and rickety. After a 16 hr day...it was not a great way to end it.
We are very sorry that it has not been totally pleasant for you, the excursions are in groups and sometimes it takes time to attend each tourist of the group, in addition we cannot confirm your tickte before, since you had the option to cancel the reservation up to 24 hours before, it was possible to shorten the itinerary hours by advancing the return train (paying an extra amount) We apologize for not meeting your expectations and we appreciate this criticism because it does not help to improve much. Thank you very much for allowing us to accompany you to Machu Picchu
We really had an amazing time. It was our Honeymoon and we enjoyed it every second! The food, the places, the people. Everything was great.
