Before arriving at the lost city, we will take you to see the Andean towns of the Sacred Valley, including Pisaq and Ollantaytambo. In this last town, we will take a train to Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel to visit Machu Picchu very early the next day.
On the second day of our trip we will visit Machu Picchu, and we will have the possibility of climbing the Huayna Picchu mountain (if we previously request this ticket), from which we have impressive panoramic views of the archaeological complex of Machu Picchu, as well as the valleys and mountains that surround it. Machu Picchu is a place full of culture, history and a lot of mysticism, things that make it the perfect destination to go on vacation with family or friends.
