Leave Cusco behind to explore the Lost City of the Incas on this 2-day tour to Machu Picchu. Enjoy a panoramic train ride and a guided tour of the archaeological site - unforgettable!

Machu Picchu 2-Day Tour

Day 1: Cusco - Aguas Calientes

On the first day of the excursion, we'll pick you up at the time of your choice from your hotel in Cusco and set off on the two-hour bus journey to Ollantaytambo. Arriving in this picturesque Andean town, we'll catch the train for the 1.5-hour ride through spectacular landscapes. Towering mountains, lush green rolling hills, flowing rivers... an impressive sight!

When we get to the town of Aguas Calientes, we'll take you to the hotel where you'll spend the night. You'll then have the rest of the day free to explore the town at your leisure.

Day 2: Machu Picchu - Cusco

After breakfast at the hotel, we'll board a bus ready for the highlight of our two-day tour: Machu Picchu. Ready to explore the historic Inca citadel?

Arriving at the hilltop ruins, we'll embark on a 2.5-hour guided tour through the streets and structures of one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

We'll then return by bus to Aguas Calientes, and you'll have time to buy lunch and see more of the town before we catch the train back to Ollantaytambo. We'll make the journey by bus back to Cusco, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel after two unforgettable days.

Accommodation Options

When making your reservation, you'll have the choice of two different accommodation options:

Standard Accommodation
