Overview
Why rush one of the world’s greatest wonders in a single, exhausting day? Leave the crowded buses and the "day-trip" stress behind.
Imagine winding through the dramatic Urubamba Canyon on the Vistadome train, where floor-to-ceiling windows bring the towering Andean peaks and lush cloud forest directly to your seat. As the sun sets over the Vilcabamba range, you’ll be relaxing in the comfort of a hand-picked 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of the cloud forest, waking up refreshed and ready to enter the Citadel before the massive crowds arrive from Cusco.
With Journey Machu Picchu, you aren’t just booking a tour; you are securing a private, expertly guided pilgrimage to the "Lost City of the Incas."
