Itinerary
We strongly recommend traveling to Aguas Calientes one day before your planned Machu Picchu visit, especially during high season when tickets sell out quickly. Upon arrival at the train station, our local staff will meet you and provide full assistance to guide you through the process of purchasing your official entry tickets at the Machu Picchu Cultural Center. You will have time to check into your hotel, explore Aguas Calientes, and prepare for the next day’s visit.
Early in the morning, our staff will assist you with your bus tickets to Machu Picchu (round trip). Together with your professional private guide, you will board the bus for a 30-minute ride up to the Machu Picchu citadel. At the main entrance, your guide will assist you with the official entry process using the tickets purchased the day before. Enjoy a 2–2.5 hour private guided tour of Machu Picchu, exploring the most important temples, terraces, and viewpoints. Your guide will share the history, culture, and secrets of the Inca civilization. After the guided tour, you’ll have free time to take photos and enjoy the citadel at your own pace. Board the return bus down to Aguas Calientes, where the service concludes.
