Along the way, we will enjoy extraordinary landscapes, as well as the flora and fauna of this region of Cusco. We will also indulge in a sophisticated dining car, a bar car, and an observation car, where we can connect with the fresh air and enjoy the wonderful route, all while being entertained by a local live music show. During the journey, the maître will invite us to enjoy a brunch and a gourmet lunch.

Once we disembark from the bus, we will meet the group and proceed to the entry control where we will present our ticket and identification. We will then embark on a guided tour of the Machu Picchu citadel for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The guide will share the fascinating history of the Incas, the impressive architecture, and the profound spiritual significance of this place as we explore the most iconic areas and enjoy panoramic views, giving you plenty of opportunities to take unforgettable photos of this world wonder.

After the tour, we will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes, where we can enjoy lunch (not included) at one of the restaurants or spend some free time in the village, visit the local hot springs, or explore the artisan market.
We will then be invited to enjoy an afternoon tea with delightful aromas at the Sanctuary Lodge Hotel’s restaurant, which is located at the entrance to Machu Picchu. At the appropriate time, we will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes.

Finally, at the scheduled time (5:20 PM), we will board the return train from Machu Picchu station, with a 3-hour and 20-minute journey to Poroy station.
On the return train, we will enjoy a delicious dinner and drinks from the bar. Once in Poroy, a member of the agency will be waiting to transport us back to the city of Cusco. We will arrive in Cusco around 9:30 PM.
