Your VSA assistant and driver will be at your hotel at 3:30 am. Once in our private van, we head to Ollantaytambo to catch out train to the city tucked at the beginning of the amazon jungle, Aguas Calientes.
After a 1hr and 45-minute ride with stunning views in just about every direction, we reach the city. Once there, we head towards the bus station to take a 20min ride up to the entrance of One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for! After a 3hr private guided tour, you have free time to solo explore until 11:30 am before making the bus line near the entrance gate to make your way back to Aguas Calientes.
Free time to eat, explore and enjoy Aguas Calientes, one of the most magical towns in Peru.
