The tour begins with pickup from your hotel at approximately 3:50am, to take you to the Ollantaytambo station. The trip takes approximately one and a half to two hours until you reach the Ollantaytambo train station. Once there, we will board the Voyager Inca Rail Train, which will take us to Machu Picchu Pueblo at 6:40am. This train will arrive in Machu Picchu Pueblo at approximately 8:40am. At the exit of the train station, your guide will be waiting for you so you can go to the bus station and go up to the citadel of Machu Picchu.
Once in Machu Picchu, you will have a 2-hour guided tour to see and explore the most important places in Machu Picchu. After that, you will be able to tour the citadel on your own until departure time, which is at noon.
After this, you can go down by bus to Machu Picchu town where you will have plenty of time to do other activities, such as walking through the streets of the city, visiting the hot springs and relaxing, as well as the Manuel Chavez Ballon Museum. You can do any of these visits on your own and pay the entrance fee that this entails.
A very important note to keep in mind is that you must be at the train station half an hour before departure. Your return train could leave the Machu Picchu town station at 2:30 pm or 4:12 pm (prior coordination at the time of making your reservation), so you must be at the train station at 2:00 pm or 3:45 pm. In order to return to the Ollantaytambo station where our private transport will be waiting for you to return to the city of Cusco and leave you at your hotel.
