Stop At: Hot Springs (Aguas Calientes), Signposted from main square, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu Peru
The Machu Picchu train tour, will begin by collecting you up at 8:00am (to be confirmed) from your hotel within the city center and take you to the train station. Often. the train leaves at 11:30 am (time may change depending on availability and changes to timetable).
After a 3.5-hour journey of majestic views of the Sacred Valley you arrive to Aguas Calientes (Hot Springs Town) where you will spend the night. Aguas Calientes is a town that has grew lately due its proximity to Machu Picchu and it has cafes, restaurants to choose from. The surroundings of this town are in the middle of a deep and green valley crossed by a river. If you decide to try the local natural hot springs can do so as you will not visit Machu Picchu until the following day.
We also suggest to do the following in Aguas Calientes: Visit the Machu Picchu 'Manuel Chávez Ballón' museum and orchid exhibition. This is open from 9am to 4.30pm, and is a 35 minute walk down the road from Aguas Calientes to Puente Ruinas. It is a very illustrative museum that gives you an interesting introduction to Machu Picchu.

We had a lovely experience. Our tour group was perfect for us and so were our hotel accommodations. Antoinetta our guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend.
Guide was sweet, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Hotel was busy but great. And Los Andes restaurant in Aguas Calientes was great. The shopping and vendors was a little much. We were overwhelmed. Train was hot but everything was included which I didn't expect. I was so pleased.all in all.
