About this activity
Your private day trip will take you to unearth the mysteries of majestic Machu Picchu without having to hike the trail.You'll be picked up from your hotel early in the morning and enjoying a scenic train tide to the Peruvian town of Aguas Calientes. Then, you'll transfer to a bus for a brief journey to the archaeological site of Machu Picchu.
There’s a reason why this awesome complex is celebrated, loved, and mused over by historians, travelers, stargazers, and mystics as it is one of the most amazing places on Earth. Built at the height of the Inca Empire, it is widely believed that this place was built to serve as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacutec. As you tour the site, you will learn about the historical background of this impressive site from your guide while you spend the morning walking around the ruins.
After the tour you will have free time to explore the complex at your own pace. You can walk to the Sun Gate for great views of the area below or check out the stone path of Inca Bridge. Take unforgettable pictures before heading back at around 4pm to the bright lights of Cusco. You'll take a train and ride back to the city, leaving with memories to keep.
