Huchuy Qosqo Trek & Machu Picchu Tour

Day 2: Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu – Cusco

At 5am we’ll have breakfast and half hour later board the first tourist bus to arrive to Machu Picchu so that we are the first visitors inside the Machu Picchu archaeological site. There, you will have a complete guided tour of this spectacular and mystical place. The guided tour includes a walk through the different sections, such as the urban sector, the agriculture sector and the religions zone. You will also have the option to climb to Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain), a hike that takes about 2 hours round trip. From the summit you will have the best panoramic view for photos of the entirety of Machu Picchu and of the deep green canyon surrounding the sacred Inca city. If you don’t choose to climb Huayna Picchu, you will have free time to explore on your own. Then we will board the tourist bus to return to Aguas Calientes. Lunch will be in the town of Aguas Calientes and at around 4pm we will aboard the backpacker train to Ollantaytambo (Sacred Valley) or straight to Cusco and from here a private van will drop us to the hotel in Cusco at about 8:30pm.
