The town is known for its beautiful market where you will be able to buy every common peruvian keepsake like a wool sweater or a beautiful necklace. The beauty of this town lies in the details of the stone work. This town is built with smaller stones than you´ll find in Sacsayhuaman, but the precision used to carve out and place the rocks is unbelievable. Another feature of this town are the views you´ll experience while exploring. We will take a lunch break, and after it continues our trip to Ollantaymbo, another charming village in the centre of the valley. This village is a living historical site, the villagers have kept the traditional lifestyle of their forefathers.

Our first option is to travel from 140KM by train to our start point. There we will begin our trip by foot to the village Aguas Calientes. This is part of the original Inca path. This path is about 14KM long, but its terrain will make it so we use the rest of the day hiking. The other option for those that might find it challenging to hike such a distance and terrain we´ll arrange a train to take you straight to the Aguas Calientes village.

Today´s excursion will be an immersive tour of Machu Picchu. We´ll have our own tour guide that will show us around, this guided tour will take around two hours and will take us sightseeing around the highlights of Machu Picchu.
