The day begins at the train station, where you embark (on your own) on a scenic journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, surrounded by towering mountains, cornfields and the Urubamba River accompanying the journey. The train offers privileged views, as on its way through narrow canyons and jungle landscapes, anticipating the magic that awaits in Machu Picchu.
The guide will be waiting at Aguas Calientes station to accompany you on the bus ascent to the entrance of the Inca citadel, one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. Here begins the guided private tour, where you will tour the main archaeological sectors:
Machu Picchu preserves some of the most impressive spaces of Inca architecture and engineering. Highlights include the Intihuatana, or “sun clock”, used to measure solstices; the Sacred Square, with the Main Temple and the Temple of Three Windows, of great ceremonial value; and the Temple of the Sun, which functioned as an astronomical observatory. Agricultural terraces demonstrate advanced Inca engineering, allowing cultivation in different climates and controlling erosion. Discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, this Inca city — today a World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World — amazes by its architectural perfection and its deep connection to the Andean worldview.
