The package includes visits to Sacred Valley sites such as Pisac, Chinchero with its textile traditions, Moray's circular terraces, the Maras salt mines, and Ollantaytambo ruins. Local guides provide historical and cultural context throughout the journey, explaining the significance of each location within Inca civilization and Peruvian heritage.
Rail service between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes forms a key component of the tour. Inca Rail has operated this 67.5-mile narrow gauge route since 2009, traveling from Cusco (11,437 feet above sea level) through Ollantaytambo (9,176 feet) and down to Aguas Calientes (6,693 feet) at the base of Machu Picchu. The train journey follows the Vilcanota river, offering views of the changing Andean landscape as the elevation decreases.
The tour includes Machu Picchu entrance tickets and a guided visit lasting 2-3 hours, with optional hikes available for an additional fee. The package provides hotel pickups, transfers between locations, and select meals in a group setting with shared transportation.
A typical itinerary begins with collection from Cusco accommodations on day one, followed by Sacred Valley exploration including visits to Chinchero, Moray, Maras, and Ollantaytambo. Travelers then board the train to Aguas Calientes for an overnight stay. The second day features a morning Machu Picchu tour before returning to Cusco via Ollantaytambo. Days three and four may include additional site visits or leisure time, depending on the specific package details.
This 4-day format allows more time at each location compared to Inca Rail's shorter 2-day and 1-day alternatives. The 2-day option covers the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in a condensed timeframe, while the 1-day express option provides a rushed but comprehensive overview for travelers with severe time constraints.
Trains depart daily from Poroy Train Station near Cusco City and from Ollantaytambo Train Station in the Sacred Valley. The service accommodates various travel preferences while maintaining consistent access to Peru's most significant archaeological sites.
