Description

Start the day with early morning pick-up from your hostel/hotels in Cusco and ride to the train station. The tourist Expedition train is upholstered with traditional indigenous fabrics, while The Voyager features plush chairs with tables at each pair of seats. Traveling in the Voyager train, you’ll have glass on all sides and above your head, great for taking in the full scale of the massive peaks. The newest option, the Expedition Train, also has good glass and updated comfortable seats. On arrival at Machu Picchu, you'll continue to the citadel on a bus for a 2-hour walking tour that explores ancient stairways, delicate carvings, and spectacular views. Afterward, enjoy some independent time to snap pictures or just relax, finishing the day with the beautiful return journey to Cusco.
