Itinerary
1 day Machu Picchu tour from Cusco
We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco. Then in our private transport, we will be driving you along the Sacred Valley of Incas to Ollantaytambo train station. Here you will board the train to Aguas Calientes.
The train journey itself is a rewarding travel experience. You will be able to see some remote Andean farms and villages along the course of the Urubamba river. Once at Aguas Calientes, our crew will be transferring you to the bus terminal. Here you will be boarding the bus to Machu Picchu citadel
Once at the entrance of the citadel, the local authorities will be verifying your passport and the entrance ticket so make sure to carry your original passport. We will then start with the two hours guided tour of the citadel.
On this tour, you will be introduced to the Incas way of life and how each area in the citadel was used by Incas. After the tour, you will have some free time to explore the citadel on your own. If you have booked a hike to Machu Picchu mountain or Huayna Picchu, our guide will be directing you to the entrance.
Alternatively, you can hike to the sun gate. It offers a spectacular view of the citadel. This is also the point of entrance to those on Inca trail.
After this unforgettable experience, at a designated time, you will be boarding the bus from Machu Picchu back to Aguas Calientes. Here you will have some free time to have lunch (not included in the price).
You will then be boarding the train back to Ollantaytambo. Our representative will be meeting you on arrival and will be transferring you back to your hotel in Cusco. We will be reaching by 09:00 PM.

I certainly have no words to appreciate and thank Heidi Travels team for such a wonderful tour of Machu Picchu in a day from Cusco. The coordination was accurate and everything went excellently well.

My wife and I visited Machu Picchu and Rainbow mountain through Heidy in Nov 2019. She and her team helped us by giving us timely updates and clear understanding of the overall process. We also appreciated their kindness in staying up late and guiding us safely to our hotel in Cusco even though we returned late from Ollantaytambo. We’d definitely recommend Heidi tours for your Cusco based day trips to Machu Picchu and Rajnbow mountain
