About this activity

Embark on an extraordinary adventure, visiting the most important Ruins of the Inca Empire in just two days, with our train tour to Machu Picchu, where you’ll discover five of Peru’s most remarkable sites. This journey includes visits to four significant Inca ruins in the Sacred Valley, culminating in the breathtaking Machu Picchu.

The Sacred Valley was the heart of the Inca Empire, surrounded by three major agricultural hubs: Chinchero, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo. This lush valley, shaped by the Urubamba River and bordered by snow-capped peaks, served as the empire’s primary source of sustenance.

After exploring the Sacred Valley, you’ll make your way to Machu Picchu, where you’ll enjoy a full day immersed in its splendor before returning to Cusco by train.
