If you are short of time but would still like to visit the legendary "Lost City of the Incas" it is possible to visit this amazing arqueological site in one day.
Together with your private English Speaking guide you take the early morning, beautiful train ride from Cusco following the plains of Anta, down into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and following the impressive Urubamba river to the base of Machu Picchu itself, all in three and a half hours. A short bus ride takes you direct to the ruins. Once there your guide gives you an extensive walking tour of the ruin and explains the fascinating history of the Incas to you.
If time permits you can explore further to the Inca bridge, walk back up the Inca Trail to the sun gate or try the strenuous climb to the top of Huayna Picchu for an awe-inspiring Condor's eye view of Machu Picchu. Some may prefer to just relax and take in the awesome location.
We take a late lunch in Aguas Calientes before catching the afternoon train back to Cusco and a transfer to the hotel of your choice.
