We’ll pick you up from your hotel at 4:00 am and drive to Ollantaytambo Train Station for the 6:10 am Expedition train departure (or pick you up at 5:20-5:30 am if starting from Ollantaytambo).

Enjoy a comprehensive two-hour guided tour of the Citadel, exploring its agricultural, residential, and religious sectors.
After soaking in the exceptional views of Machu Picchu, return by bus to Aguas Calientes for lunch. Depending on your train departure, you can explore Aguas Calientes, shop, visit a museum, or relax in the hot springs. The Expedition train will take you back to Ollantaytambo, departing at various times in the afternoon and offering stunning views of the Urubamba River and glimpses of Wiñay Wayna high on the canyon wall.
