This tour is recommended only for hardy travelers who are on a budget. This tour requires about 8 hours of bus travel and 3 hour hike each way on unpaved roads to get to Machu Picchu. Also due to time constraints you only spend a half day at Machu Picchu. If you are looking for a tour that gives you a full day at Machu Picchu via a comfortable round trip train ride then we recommend our Machu Picchu Sunrise Tour. 

Machu Picchu by Car Itinerary

DAY 1

You are picked up from your hotel at 7:30 am and depart Cusco for Ollantaytambo. You drive through the beautiful Sacred Valley of the Incas passing many small colonial towns and farms. Once at Ollantaytambo you have the chance to pick up water and snacks for the ride to Santa Teresa where you will have your lunch. You Arrive in Santa Teresa at 2:30 PM and here you will have lunch similar to the touristic menus found in Cusco.

You then continue the route on to the Hydro electric plant, once there you will hike the remainder of the way towards Aguas Calientes or Machu Picchu Town, arriving at approximately 5:20pm. You will then be taken to your hostel where you can freshen up and begin to explore the small town.

At 7:30 the group meets again to have Dinner with your guide who will give a short briefing on tomorrows schedule and what you can expect during your time at Machu Picchu. You then have the remainder of the evening to explore the town or take a dip in the thermal baths nearby.

DAY 2

This morning you have the option of walking or taking a bus (not included) up to the citadel of Machu Picchu, we recommend the latter. As soon as the park opens you will be among the first to enter the citadel for the day, here you will enjoy the awesome sight of Machu Picchu as the Sun rises opposite the sun gate on the adjacent mountain. You will then be given a two hour guided tour of the ruins and will have some time to spend exploring the ruins on your own.

You begin to make your way down the mountain at 11 am, meeting your group at the train station at noon. There you will hike back to the hydroelectric plant where your transportation will be waiting to take you back to Cusco. Make sure you buy some snacks as the ride back takes approximately 7 hours.

Machu Picchu by Car 3D/2N Tour

Day 1

We will leave Cusco at about 4:00, into the direction of Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo, from where our transport will start to climb to Abra Málaga (4,316m), the highest point of the route, and the mysterious realm of the Apus Verónica (Wequey Willca) and Puerto Málaga. We will see snow here, or perhaps a thick mist. From here, we will descend again, into a valley of jungle, until the altitude of 1,575m. Over this altitude-range, we will see different micro-climates, and the species that belong to them. 

At about noon, we will have a stop at Santa Teresa to enjoy a delicious lunch. At about 13:00, we will start our walk to the Hydro-electric Plant, taking us about 1.5 hours.  From here, we will take the train of 16:30 to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu-village), arriving at about 17:30, and installing ourselves in our hostel. Until dinner (at about 20:00), there will be time to enjoy a natural hot bath in the hot springs of Aguas Calientes. There will be other moments as well, during these days, to do this. After dinner, we´ll meet with our guide, to have our briefing for the next day. 

Day 2

At the early breakfast of 4:00, plus receiving a snack for today, we will set off to the sanctuary of Machu Picchu, either by bus or on foot (depending on your preference). 

The pleasantly guided tour within Machu Picchu will begin at 6:00, and take about 2 - 2.5 hours, after which there will be plenty free time (until 16:30). At this point, we will return to Aguas Calientes, again either by bus or on foot, to enjoy a good dinner again, in this picturesque village. 

Day 3​

Today after a early lunch we will take our train back at 12:30 to Hydro-electric Plant. From here, we will again begin our 1.5-hour walk, and once arriving back in Santa Teresa, we will have about 30 minutes to eat something (in case we choose to have a late lunch), before we proceed our way back to Cusco (about 6 hours), over the same view-rich road as we came over.
