A scenic train journey brings you to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you will take a shuttle bus up to the entrance of the ruins.

Browse its fabulous stone architecture and astonishing landscapes while learning about this fascinating city of stone. After free time for lunch, return by shuttle bus from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes. Choose from one of the many little restaurants for your dinner. Spend the night in Aguas Calientes in the shadow of Machu Picchu at the Hatuchay Towers**** Aguas Calientes. See our other recommended Machu Picchu hotels. Day 5: Free Day in Aguas Calientes & Return to Cuzco This morning, you may want to spend another day at the citadel of Machu Picchu. Wake early and take the first shuttle bus to the entrance to get there in time for the sunrise, then walk about the site on your own, or take the hike to Huynu Picchu, the trail that leads up to the mountain above Machu Picchu. If you prefer, you can spend the day relaxing in Aguas Calientes instead. Soak in the natural hot springs for which the little town was named. In the afternoon, take your 1st class train back to Cuzco or Ollantaytambo (depending on the train availability). Transfer to your hotel and enjoy a last stroll over the baroque heart of Cusco, the Plaza de Armas. |
