It’s impossible to present the wonders of Machu Picchu it's without speaking of our ancestors, the Inca-rulers. Incas such as Pachacutec, Tupac Yupanqui or Huayna Capac were very important visionaries in changing political-religious structures or organizations and building archaeological complexes.
Machu Picchu remains, a breathtaking experience, not only because it’s a spiritual, astronomic and agricultural center but because it’s one of the largest, most beautiful and best preserved Inca-capitals and the only-one that has remained untouched by occidental populations. The site whispers mysterious secrets and lost knowledge for all those who are interested in listening to. The city seems to float in the air and hide inside the clouds. The Machu Picchu visit is a perfect combination of pre-Columbian science and religion, a passionate history, beautiful sightseeing and a relaxing experience.
At 5h45am we pick you up from your hotel and take you to the train-station where you'll take a train towards Aguas Calientes, the tourist-town built beneath the ruins of Machu Picchu, where we'll arrive at approximately 10h30am. Then we meet our guide and next, we take the tourist-bus up to the spectacular yet mysterious ruins. Our guide will share with us his knowledge and experiences concerning the wonders of our Andean ancestors and Machu Picchu, the Tour will probably last three hours. After this you'll have about two hours to wander around the ruins by yourself and take pictures. At 15h00 we'll all meet, and go back down to Aguas Calientes because at 15h55 the train leaves from Aguas Calientes to Cusco. We'll arrive in Cusco approximately at 20h20. It's also possible to stay an optional extra night in Aguas Calientes and enjoy the Inca's hot medicinal baths nearby. In such case you can take the train back to Cusco early in the morning or in the afternoon. The train will pass through Ollantaytambo and go to Cusco from there.
