Day 1: Cusco – Písac – Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes. We will pick you up in the morning to begin our trip in a vehicle towards the north of Cusco. There will be a stop in a viewpoint to have our first view of the Sacred Valley, with and explanation in charge of the tour guide. Then, we will reach Písac, where we will visit the archaeological site with terraces used by the quechuas for the cultivation of products. We will reach a 3,400 m altitude, even 3,500 m if we have the energy to traverse the highest part. Subsequently, we will go back to the town where we will be able to visit the craftwork market. After that, we will take our transportation to follow the road towards Ollantaytambo, skirting the Urubamba River. Once there*, we will visit the terraces of that place and the Temple of the Sun ruins, besides having a privileged view of the surrounding valleys. At the end of the day, we will take you to the train station so you can take the transportation to the Aguas Calientes train station, from where you will have to go to the hostel where you will spend the night. Then, someone will take you to a restaurant for dinner and you will receive the directions for the next day, after what you will be ready to sleep.

*Those who have selected the optional service of train upgrade to Vistadome category will receive a small explanation about the archaeological site and then should go to the train station to take the transportation to Aguas Calientes.

Day 2: Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu – Cusco. We will get up very early in the morning to take the bus with our guide in the the city’s downtown, and make a 25 minutes ride from Aguas Calientes to the entry of Machu Picchu citadel. Here, we will have a 1 and a half hours guided tour, during which we will receive information about the place's history, from its construction towards the time it was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham. Then, we will say goodbye to the guide and the group to traverse the citadel on our own, with enough time to get to know the constructions that we could not see with the guide, or climbing some of the mountains, Machu Picchu Mountain or Huayna Picchu, if you included one in your ticket. After this experience, we will go back to Aguas Calientes to be at the train station half an hour before the programmed departure in your ticket.
