Detailed Description
Start an incredible adventure with our tour to Machu Picchu, starting with a direct pickup from your hotel in the picturesque town of Ollantaytambo. From there, we`ll take you to the train station to begin a journey of approximately one and a half hours through stunning landscapes until you reach Aguas Calientes.
Upon arrival, you`ll board a comfortable bus that will take you to the entrance of the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu. For two hours, you`ll have the opportunity to explore this enigmatic Inca citadel, globally known as the Lost City of the Incas.
Machu Picchu, meaning "old mountain", is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a recognition that highlights its cultural and natural significance.
During your guided tour, you`ll not only be amazed by the architecture and history of the site, but you`ll also have the chance to spot some of the most fascinating endemic birds, such as the Masked Fruiteater, the Inca Wren, and the Green-and-white Hummingbird.
Machu Picchu is home to over 400 registered bird species, including the White-tipped Swift, the White-capped Dipper, the Torrent Duck, and the Ashy-headed Tyrannulet, making it a paradise for nature lovers.
After the two-hour guided tour, you`ll have free time to continue exploring this mystical site at your own pace. Then, you can enjoy a delicious lunch (optional) in the charming town of Aguas Calientes, known for its cozy atmosphere and local cuisine.
Finally, we will return by train to Ollantaytambo, where we will take you back to your hotel, completing a day filled with discoveries and unforgettable experiences.
