About this tour
Combine the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in two perfectly paced days, with a night in Aguas Calientes for a relaxed citadel visit.
Full description
See the best of the Vilcanota corridor before ascending to Machu Picchu. Day one covers Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and the Sacred Valley, then continues by train to Aguas Calientes for an overnight stay.
Day two brings an early guided tour of Machu Picchu when the morning light bathes the ruins in gold. With logistics handled from door to door, you focus entirely on history, scenery, and the emotion of reaching the Lost City.
The most popular two-day combination for travelers who want depth without a multi-day trek.
