Sacred Valley Machu Picchu Tour (2 Days)

At 08:35 in the morning our group leader will be picking you up from your hotel within the historic centre of Cusco. The group normally has 25 travellers and a local bi-lingual (English & Spanish) tour guide. Once we pickup all travellers, we would start driving towards the Sacred Valley of Incas. Our first stop will be in Pisac. The handicrafts market near the main square of Pisaq is quite famous. We will then be visiting the renowned ruins of Pisac. Our local guide would give you a complete guided tour of the ruins. The guide would explain the importance of the archaeological site during the Incan rule and its use.

Our next stop will be in the picturesque town called Urubamba. Urubamba is often recognised as the centre of Sacred Valley of Incas. We will stop here for lunch. After relishing on a typical Peruvian meal for lunch, we will continue our journey to Ollantaytambo town.

Ollantaytambo is a wonderful town. It served as the administrative centre to the Amazon corner of the Incan empire. Having mentioned that, this little town held a lot of significance during the Incan empire. Ollantaytambo archeological ruins hold a lot of mystery which our guide would uncover on your guided tour of the sites.

After a full day guided tour of the prime sites of the Sacred Valley of Incas, you will be boarding the train at 07:45 PM from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. Aguas Calientes serves as the jump-off point to Machu Picchu. You will be reaching Aguas Calientes at 09:00 PM. Upon your arrival, our hotel representative will meet you at the train station. The hotel representative will assist you with the hotel transfer. Here you will be spending the night.

The hotel crew will be handing you a snack box early morning. You will then be taking a tourist bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu. It is a short 25 minutes uphill drive. We will try to enter in the first group so that you will get to see the sunrise at the citadel. 

Our local expert will give you a two hours guided tour of Machu Picchu. On this tour you will be visiting sites like the royal quarters, ruins of temples, temple of the sun, main plaza, ceremonial centre, farming terraces and more. After the tour, you will have some free time to explore Machu Picchu on your own. If you have booked your hike to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu mountain, our local expert will direct you to the entrance. 

Alternatively, you can walk up to the sun gate. It offers a captivating view of the citadel. This view at dawn is exclusive for those on Inca Trail. After the tour, you will be taking the bus back to Aguas Calientes. Here you will have some free time. You can have lunch if desired.
