Machu Picchu Excursion
The tour meets at the Aguas Calientes train station and from there, we'll set off on a 30 to 45-minute journey to Machu Picchu.
Once we arrive at the citadel of the archaeological site, we'll go on a 2.5-hour tour. The site is located in the Andes mountain range, 2430 meters (8,000 feet) above sea level.
Built before the 15th century, the Machu Picchu complex, whose name means "Old Mountain," was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Your expert guide will bring this ancient and mysterious culture back to life, on your tour of the site known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Did you know that it's one of the world's most popular tourist destinations? And with good reason!
Having wandered the streets of this legendary Inca jewel and learned about its history, depending on the speed of the group, you'll have free time to take those photographs you'll cherish forever, or simply sit back and drink in the unparalleled views. At the end of your excursion, we'll head back to Aguas Calientes.
