Machu Picchu 1-day Tour (Full Day)
From $300 per person
A Machu Picchu 1-day tour is a quick yet exhilarating way to experience the iconic Inca citadel. Typically starting in the early morning, the tour involves a train ride from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, followed by a bus journey up the winding road to Machu Picchu. Upon arrival, you’ll explore the ancient ruins with a guide, learning about their history and significance. You’ll have the opportunity to visit key landmarks such as the Sun Gate and Temple of the Sun, and capture stunning photographs of the breathtaking scenery. While it’s a condensed visit, a 1-day tour of Machu Picchu promises a memorable and awe-inspiring experience.

The Expedition Train Services
We will pick up from your hotel and drive out to the train station in Poroy, Cusco and take the train to Aguas Calientes. Throughout the journey, there will be stunning scenery, picturesque villages and interesting vegetation to behold. Arriving in Aguas Calientes, your guide will meet you to head straight up to Machu Picchu through the beautiful high Andes, to begin your guided tour of the Lost City of the Inkas, which is undoubtedly one of the most amazing urban creations of the Inkan heyday.
We will receive a guided tour of Machu Picchu, lasting around 2 hours with a bit of free time to explore afterwards. Later, we’ll return to Aguas Calientes (2040) via shuttle bus and take the Expedition train and bus back to Cusco after lunch.
Level: easy. People of all ages are welcome.
