Day 2Guided Tour At Machu Picchu - Hidriolectric - Cusco

This is the most important day of the tour, today you will visit one of the seven wonders of the world.
The tour will start very early, to appreciate the sunrise in the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

Our day will start with the option of hiking or taking the bus (US $ 12).

If you have chosen the option of hiking you need to wake up around 4:00 am to get ready for the hike to Machu Picchu main entrance. After you grab your pack breakfast you start walking to Puente Ruinas checkpoint for 30 minutes which is open at 5:00 am where you have to show your passport and your Machu Picchu tickets. After you pass the first checkpoint, you will hike all upstairs for one hour to Machu Picchu main gate to be there around 6:00 am. Once everybody meets at the gate, you go into Machu Picchu for the guided tour for 2.5 hours to learn everything about The lost city of the Incas.

At 11:30 get ready to walk back to Hydroelectric for 3 hours in order to be in Hidrolectrica at 2:30 pm to take a car for 6 hours back Cusco. usually we get back to Cusco around 10:30 p.m. We will leave you at Plaza Regocijo – Cusco.

NOTE:
If you are thinking to do HUAYNAPICCHU or MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN is possible but will be too very tight and rush because you need to leave Machu Picchu at 11:30 to walk back to Hydroelectric for 3 hours in order to be in Hidrolectrica at 2:30 pm to take a car to Cusco. If you are considering doing this option and doing one of the mountains, we recommend you stay one more night in Aguas Calientes and return the third day, Because you need at least 5 hours more to explore the whole park of Machupicchu

 Verified Best curated tour of Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley - at an extremely competitive price.
Elizabeth at Adventure Cusco curated a beautiful trip of Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for us. The team ant Adventure Cusco arranged the best travel options and tour guides, for an extremely competitive price. I would highly recommend Adventure Cusco. Their service providers are extremely helpful, reliant and accommodating of all needs. We had the best time at Machu Picchu, all because of a private tour arranged by the team. Their tour guide Edwin at Machu Picchu is extremely knowledgeable, funny and patient. He knows the best spots for Instagram and literally takes the best pictures. The ATV tour at Sacred Valley was organised so well. I would do the entire trip again because it was organised so well and was so much fun. Go with these guys. I can vouch for them. I have spoken to some 7-8 friends who have visited Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley. None of them were able to do it in such an affordable price, especially with high quality travel options and tour guides.

 Verified Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrado VIP
We had an amazing experience with Adventure Cusco. They were in charge of our entire itinerary from airport transfers to each tour. They adjust to perfection to our needs and interest and exceed our expectations. We visit Machu Picchu by the Vistadome Observatory train and the views were breathtaking. Our tour guide Alex was just perfect. He knew the site to perfection and it seems we had Machu Picchu to ourselves. On top of that he took the most beautiful pictures and knows the best spots for the best pictures. I can’t recommend this company enough. We just relaxed and enjoyed while Elizabeth was in charge of each detail. Make sure to contact them if you are planning your trip to Cusco Peru.
