Discover one of the 7 wonders of the world, Machu Picchu, on this exciting one-day excursion that begins with your arrival in the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco. You will travel through the high Andean mountains and the mysterious cloud forests aboard a train that will take you to the town of Aguas Calientes. From there, you will head to the ancient citadel upon your arrival in the former Inca capital to explore the ruins with the assistance of our professional guide, who will narrate its history and significance for the Incas. You will also have free time to explore the town of Aguas Calientes.

Early in the morning, as agreed, we will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the Ollantaytambo train station, from where we will head to Aguas Calientes.
After an almost 2-hour journey from Ollantaytambo, we will arrive at the Aguas Calientes station, where our guide will be waiting for you with a sign with your name.
Then, we will go to the bus stop, where we will ascend for 30 minutes and 400 meters along a zigzagging path to reach the "Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu," also known as the "Lost City of the Incas." Upon arriving at the Machu Picchu citadel, we will begin the guided tour, accompanied by our guide. For approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, we will visit the most important sites in Machu Picchu.
After the guided tour, we will return to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you can enjoy your lunch at one of the many restaurants or, if you prefer, at the Sanctuary Lodge (lunch on your own). In the late afternoon, we will take the train back to Ollantaytambo, following the same route as on the way there.

From the beginning peru grand travel representatives were very detailed and always responsive to help me finalize my iterenary. They were prompt during the tours and always followed up with me with reminders. They were also helpful to me for my personal issues during the stay at peru outside of the package. You can blindly trust them for your tour.
It was an amazing experience to travel internationally alone. Wonderful places! And all support and support from the team. I had the privilege of being guided by Wuilber, who was super attentive, speaks very well Portuguese and took several photos for me!!! I loved everything

In addition to removing our doubts they gave enough details to make the experience even better. On the day of the tour we also endured a lot. The guide the company provided was amazing. It was the best travel experience we've ever had I highly recommend the company!
