Experience travelling on the Inca Rail First-Class Train over the Andes to Machu Picchu, enjoying the stunning Peruvian landscape. In the early afternoon, visit the remains with your knowledgeable guide. Imagine life in this grand castle, situated almost 8,000 feet above sea level, as you stroll among the ancient stone walls. 

Alternatively, you have the option to trek the Inca Trail for an extra fee. Begin your journey early by taking a Vistadome Train with several windows for a magnificent ride. Disembark at KM 104 and join a guide for a walk that ends at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), offering a panoramic view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Begin your day early to explore Machu Picchu in the morning mist before the crowds gather, a spiritual highlight for many. Machu Picchu was constructed in the 15th century during the peak of the Inca Empire, with a view of the Urubamba River. American historian Hiram Bingham made the existence of the "Lost City" known to the world in 1911, but locals had been aware of its location for a long time. 

The original purpose of the structure is uncertain because the Incas did not leave any written documents. After thoroughly exploring the citadel, return to your accommodation for lunch. Next, take the Vistadome Train back to Ollantaytambo, and proceed to Cusco to either relax or explore alone.
