Delve into the world of the Inca on a fully guided day trip to mystical Machu Picchu. Access the awe-inspiring citadel by train and follow your guide through the main streets and carved stone stairways of these amazing ruins as you learn about the spiritual beliefs that abound at this sacred site.

After being picked up from your hotel, embark on an unforgettable journey to the revered city of Machu Picchu. Take a quick 15-minute drive to the Expedition train, where you climb aboard for a 2-hour scenic railway tour to the town of Aguas Calientes. Travel through the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Urubamba and take in the natural beauty of Andean landscape. Upon arrival, hop on a small bus and make your way up to the ruins of the so-called “Lost City of the Incas.”
