Early in the morning, we will begin our journey by picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at 3:00 a.m. and driving to the train station in the charming town of Ollantaytambo. From there, you will board the train that travels through the stunning Sacred Valley of the Incas, offering a magnificent journey from the majestic Andes mountains to the lush jungle in Aguas Calientes. This thrilling train journey lasts approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Upon arrival at Aguas Calientes, our representative will greet you and accompany you to the bus that will take you to the Archaeological Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. The bus ride takes about 25 minutes.

Finally, we will arrive at the historic sanctuary to start our tour of Machu Picchu. Take a moment to recharge, stretch out your arms, and immerse yourself in the magic of this ancient place. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Inca citadel, a moment you've undoubtedly been eagerly awaiting.

Huchuy Picchu, whose name in Quechua means "Small Mountain," is a Sacred Waka located within the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, in Cusco, Peru. Here, you will also find other archaeological sites surrounded by a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna. The mountain and its archaeological sites offer a magnificent view of the site itself, the canyon crossed by the Vilcanota river, and the majestic Vilcabamba mountain ranges, with the imposing APU PUMASILLO.

Just like the Huayna Picchu mountain, the Incas built stone steps leading to the top of Huchuy Picchu. Today, the hiking route to the top (which takes about 1 hour) is one of the new adventure attractions when visiting Machu Picchu, offering panoramic views of the entire site.

After this unforgettable moment, our guide will begin the tour to provide a deeper understanding of the history and architecture of this wonderful place. It's essential to note that the visiting time is currently limited to a maximum of 3 hours. Within the Machu Picchu citadel, we can explore the different areas it was divided into, its population distribution, and discover intriguing details, like the fact that, despite being isolated, the citadel was self-sufficient.

Once the tour concludes, we return by bus to Aguas Calientes, where you will have time for lunch and explore the charming town. Here, you will find numerous restaurants and craft shops. Later, we will board the return train to Ollantaytambo, where our representative will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name. From there, our transport will take you back to your hotel in Cusco, thus concluding our thrilling one-day tour to Machu Picchu and Huchuy Picchu.
