Overview

See Machu Picchu in one unforgettable day without worrying about the logistics. We take care of your hotel pickup, transportation, round-trip Vistadome Observatory Train, buses, entrance tickets, expert guide, and return to Cusco.

What makes this tour special is the journey itself. Travel through the Sacred Valley on the Vistadome Observatory Train, with panoramic windows, an open-air carriage, beautiful mountain views, snacks, drinks, and onboard entertainment.

At Machu Picchu, explore the highlights with an expert local guide during a 2 to 3-hour visit. We book Circuit 2 by default whenever available for the classic experience. If it is sold out, we secure Circuit 3 or the best official circuit available.

Travel in a small group with TreXperience, a 100% Peruvian local operator focused on great service, smooth organization, safety, and a memorable experience from start to finish.
