Itinerary
Pick up from your hotel at 4:00 am.
After picking you up, we'll head to Av. el Sol to the Train Office, where you'll board the tourist bus bound for Ollantaytambo Station. (1 hour and 30 minutes journey)
Upon arrival at Ollantaytambo Station, you will board the Tourist Train that will take you to the town of Machu Picchu, "Aguas Calientes". During the train ride, you will be able to enjoy a show on board, the classic Peruvian theater "Drama Ollantay", and you will also be able to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes of the Sacred Valley. (Course of 1 hour and 40 minutes)
Upon arrival at the Aguas Calientes Station, you will have to go to the station exit, where agency staff will be waiting for you and direct you to the Ecological Bus Station to go up to Machu Picchu. (30 minute trip)
Once you arrive at the entrance to Machu Picchu, your guide will be waiting for you so you can enter the Sanctuary as a group and begin your guided tour. The tour will last approximately 3 hours, after which you will have free time to take photos.
After the guided tour, you can return to the village on any of the Eco-Friendly Buses, which depart every 10 minutes (a 30-minute journey). You will have free time to have lunch in the village on your own or to wander around. The village is small, so it's quick and easy to navigate, and you'll find many options for lunch, from buffet restaurants, vegetarian restaurants, chicken restaurants, à la carte restaurants, menus, markets, etc. You'll even have time to visit the hot springs (admission is 20 soles, payable on-site).
At 6:30 pm you will go to the Train Station in Aguas Calientes to board the train back to the Ollantaytambo Station. (1 hour and 40 minutes journey)
Upon arrival at Ollantaytambo Station, the train staff will guide you to the departure point for the Tourist Bus from the same company, which will take you to Cusco. (1 hour and 30 minutes journey)

Fantastic
Giovanna is an excellent travel agent. He organized my trip to Machu Picchu and the mountain of seven colors in record time. He suggested the best schedules and activities according to my busy schedule; the guides delivered as promised and both activities were customized. Giovanna was constantly attentive to what she needed; in constant communication. Without your management it would not have been possible to fulfill my travel plans. Highly recommended. Thank you very much to all the members of the immense team.
