Machu Picchu Full Day

The citadel of Machu Picchu harmonizes with the natural landscape, being a space of great importance for the Incas in the scientific and cultural field.

The citadel of Machu Picchu is one of the most beautiful places in the Inca empire because it was built to be the most select abode of the Inca aristocracy. The routes that led to Machu Picchu were prohibited for the general population since its location was a military secret.

This adventure begins in the magical streets of Cusco, where you will board our modern tourist bus from the door of your hotel, you will be in the company of our staff (driver and transfer) to travel to Ollantaytambo train station, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
