The Machu Picchu Day Trip from Cusco is the most direct route to the Wonder of the World: one long day that covers the 3-hour road transfer to Ollantaytambo, the 1.5-hour tourist train through the Urubamba Canyon cloud forest, the Consettur bus ascent to the citadel, a full 2-hour guided visit with a MINCETUR bilingual guide, free time at the site, and the return journey — back in Cusco by 22:45.
Everything is included in the single price: hotel pickup, transfer Cusco → Ollantaytambo, tourist train (round trip), Consettur bus (round trip), Machu Picchu Archaeological Park entrance ticket, and bilingual guide. The only extras are meals and optional train upgrades.
From $320 per person (foreign adult).
