Machu Picchu Mountain + Circuit 1 Itinerary:

4:00 – 7:00: Departure from Cusco

The trip begins with your transfer to Ollantaytambo, where you will board the train to Aguas Calientes.

Upon arrival at the central station of Aguas Calientes, a Guru representative will be waiting for you at the station entrance to provide instructions on how to board the bus to the Machu Picchu ruins, as well as information about the meeting point for the guided tour experience at Machu Picchu.

Once at the Machu Picchu ruins, your guide will be waiting for you to begin the guided tour… How exciting!

7:00 – 15:00: Citadel’s Tour

Once we enter Machu Picchu, we will make the guided tour through ancient constructions, but with a perfect state of preservation. 

15:00 – 21:00: Machu Picchu Mountain Tour and return to Cusco.

After having enjoyed the walk through the Citadel, you can make the ascent to Machu Picchu Mountain. The tour will not be as complex as Huchuy Picchu, but its panoramic views have nothing to envy.
