How are you going to get to Machu Picchu?

In this tour YOU get to choose whether you take the train or do a short one-day hike.  

OPTION A – The Short Inca Trail 

After a short train ride, embark on the 1-day Inca Trail, which includes an 8km or 4 hour hike up into the mountains. 

After an upwards climb, you arrive at the Inca site of Wiñay Wayna before lunch in the mountains.  Next comes a 1-hour hike to Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, from where you will have your first dramatic view of Machu Picchu and get some once in a lifetime photos! 

From here descend with views of the ancient City, without entering it, and catch the bus to Aguas Calientes where you enjoy a celebratory dinner. 

  • Note, the 1-day hike depends on permit availability.  Can sell out 2 months prior to departure. 
  • While this is a short trek, you need to have a reasonable level of fitness to complete it.

OPTION B – Train to Machu Picchu

If you choose this option you will  spend the morning in the Chichubamba community experiencing authentic Andean life – we offer “hands on” ceramic, chocolate making and guinea pig raising workshops. 

Next up is Ollantaytambo, home of an impressive Incan fortress and village.  The village and most of its foundations date from the Inca era; enjoy strolling the quaint streets and shopping from local vendors.  

Take an afternoon train to Aguas Calientes, travelling through stunning landscapes and alongside a fast-flowing river. 

Arriving in Aguas Calientes, you enjoy a celebratory dinner and then prepare for tomorrow’s visit to Machu Picchu.
