Your Travel Experience with Galapagos PRO
Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu Ruinen - Cusco
Today you have the opportunity to explore Machu Picchu once again on your own (without a tour guide). We recommend having breakfast early and taking the shuttle bus up to the ruins straight afterwards. With a bit of luck, you will be able to explore Machu Picchu before the first tourists arrive by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo. For the more ambitious, we recommend climbing Huayna Picchu (tickets must be purchased in advance). Or you can walk to the Inti Punko Sun Gate, a former checkpoint from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Machu Picchu. In the afternoon, take the shuttle bus back to Aguas Calientes to catch your train back to Poroy or Oallantaytambo. You will be met at the train station and taken to your hotel in Cusco.
