Luxury Machu Picchu tour itinerary: day by day
Times and services are indicative. Your final schedule is confirmed in your written quote.
Day 1 — Vistadome to Aguas Calientes and your 5★ hotel
A private driver takes you from your hotel to Ollantaytambo station for the Vistadome train, with panoramic windows and a snack on board. In Aguas Calientes, a hotel representative meets you and carries your luggage to your 5★ hotel, set in gardens by the river. After check-in and lunch, you have two options: a first afternoon visit to Machu Picchu with your private guide (second ticket +US$ 55), when the late light is soft and the crowds are leaving, or a relaxed afternoon at the hotel spa, on a guided orchid or birdwatching walk in the hotel grounds, or at the town's hot springs. In the evening your guide briefs you on the next morning's visit.
Day 2 — Early visit to Machu Picchu and the Hiram Bingham
After breakfast you take one of the first buses up and enter Machu Picchu early with your private guide, who adapts the route and the pace to you and takes you to the best photo spots on your circuit. Add Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain (+US$ 75) for the view from above. You return to the hotel for lunch and time to relax before boarding the Belmond Hiram Bingham, PeruRail's luxury train, with its polished wood carriages, observation car and live Andean music. Dinner is served on board on the way back to Poroy station, about 20 minutes from Cusco, where your private driver takes you to your hotel. The direction of the trains can be reversed if it suits your plans.
