What to expect

Delve into the world of the Inca on a fully guided day tour to the mystical Machu Picchu. Access the awe-inspiring citadel by train and follow your guide through the main streets and carved stone stairways of the ruins as you learn about the spiritual beliefs that abound at this sacred site.

After being picked up from your hotel, embark on an unforgettable journey to the revered city of Machu Picchu where you climb aboard for a 2-hour scenic railway tour to the town of Aguas Calientes aboard the Expedition train. Travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Urubamba and take in the natural beauty of Andean landscape.

Upon arrival, hop on a small bus and make your way up to the ruins of the so-called “Lost City of the Incas.” A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is Peru’s most visited attraction. Explore this mysterious marvel, and admire its more than 600 terraces, 160 buildings, thousands of steps, several temples, and 16 fountains. Built as the hilltop estate of the Incan Emperor Pachacutec, this dramatic site is home to the Temple of the Sun and the Room of the Three Windows. You will be able to gaze up the restored buildings and take in the sweeping scenery from on high before you descend.

Once the tour is finished,you'll take the bus down to Aguas Calientes where you will get some free time to grab some snacks or to get souvenirs, while waiting to board your Expedition train back to Cusco. On arrival, you will be picked up and transferred back to your hotel in Cusco.
