Today is a big day! We will pick you up from your hotel bright and early at 6:35am, and just 25 minutes later, we will pull into Poroy Station (this station is only available through the months of April – December. The closure is due to the rainy season).

Watch from the window as the Andean meadows and farmland rush past, the distant mountains getting closer as they transform into valleys, and the grass getting greener and more luscious as the climate transforms into sub-tropical.

Before you know it, the train will be pulling into Aguas Calientes Station, where our English speaking guide will be waiting. After a few introductions, we head to the shuttlebus. This bus will carry us up the mountain to the entrance of the citadel.

Then, your time has come. We enter Machu Picchu, and after taking a few minutes to grab some photos we have a 2 hour guided tour, during which you will discover the secrets of the citadel. Be sure to ask the guide any and all questions you can think of!

When we have had our fill of exploring the mysterious Machu Picchu Citadel, we return to Aguas Calientes to catch the early evening Vistadome train (4:43 pm or 5:23 pm train) to Poroy. Waiting at the train station will be our private vehicle, waiting take you back to your hotel in Cusco, arriving between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm.
