You will enjoy an unmatched and mesmerizing panoramic train journey, to one of the new 7 Wonders of the World! Your journey takes you from Cusco to Aguas Calientes in style through the Sacred Valley of the Inca. Leaving the wide valleys, you enter a narrow canyon and sub-tropical jungle near the Amazon as you approach the town Aguas Calientes. From here, you take the shuttle up to enjoy a guided tour of Machu Picchu with private guide.
At your hotel
Today is your once in a lifetime visit to the majestic Machu Picchu! We pick you up at your Cusco hotel around 6am, and then drive in our private transport to the train station for your train. Enjoy an incredible 3.5 hour journey on the Vistadome train with panoramic windows as the road takes you through the beautiful Sacred Valley to the Cloud Jungle.
The train arrives at the town closest to Machu Picchu, named Aguas Calientes. You will have a little time to get a sandwich or snack before going up to Machu Picchu on the shuttle bus (2,430mt/7972ft). Following in the ancient and remote footsteps of the Lost City of the Incas, your guide will give you the full tour, which takes over two hours. You will see all of the most important parts of Machu Picchu, including the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Condor, Temple of Three Windows, Sun Dial, Quarry and the House of the Inca. There will be plenty of time for pictures.
Returning to Aguas Calientes, you will catch the early evening Vistadome train train back to Cusco.
Expected arrival back in Cusco, we will drop you back off at your hotel.

Tips for your guide
During weekends I’m usually at Machu Picchu now so we can discuss that too. Middle of the week I am in Cusco.
It's best to get in touch as soon as possible to secure your preferred dates as permits to Machu Picchu can sell out quickly.
Our group just loved the tour of Cusco, Peru and Mike, our Tour Guide. I think Peru will have more tourists after having seen this virtual tour! Thank you!!
The m you very much Lisa
Wow! What an amazing experience! I booked this as an opportunity for our students to "travel" and learn about a place we are unable to visit in person. Michael did an excellent job on this tour. He created a truly unique educational experience for our students and families. I have received many notes of positive feedback stating how much they enjoyed this experience. Michael was communicative through the whole process ensuring that the tour would meet the needs of our group. He was patient as we worked through some technical difficulties on our end. I would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Michael for bringing the beauty of Peru and Machu Picchu to our homes.
Thank you so much Rachel for your review, I'm really happy to hear everyone enjoyed it. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your students virtually at Machu Picchu!
