Aguas Calientes

Meet your TreXperience Tour Guide in Aguas Calientes—at your hotel, at the train station, or at Machu Picchu’s main gate. Once you book, tell us where you’d like to meet and we’ll be there, ready to start your day. From the town, you’ll hop on the 30-minute bus to Machu Picchu. At the gate, show your passport and your Machu Picchu entry ticket (not included, book early). Your guided tour lasts about 2 to 3 hours. We’ll stroll through temples, royal palaces, terraces, and the best lookout points while your guide shares the stories that bring each stone to life. Secure Circuit 2—the most complete route. If that sells out, Circuit 3 is next‑best, and Circuit 1 is a solid fallback. The sooner you reserve, the better your circuit. Because this is a private tour, you move at your own pace. Want extra time for photos, questions, or a quiet moment to take it all in? Just say so. Your expert guide is there to tailor the experience to you, making sure every minute at Machu Picchu counts.

Duration 180 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
