    At 10:00 we pick you up from your hotel in Cuzco and take the bus for about 2 hours to reach Ollantaytambo. From here, we first have a little break and afterwards we take the train to Aguas Calientes; the Machu Picchu town. The train ride takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes but it will be done soon since you can enjoy the beautful surroundings which the train crosses. After arrival in Aguas Calientes we go to our hotel, take lunch and have time to visit the busy yet small city with more than enough sighseeings. Perfect for tourists to look around, and for example buy some souvenirs. At 17:00 we have a brief informative talk to tell you everything about the coming day.
