DAY 2: AGUAS CALIENTES / RETURN TRAIN TO CUSCO
Excellent opportunity to wake up early and enjoy a beautiful sunrise as well as stroll through the Town of Aguas Calientes and visit its Hot Springs Thermal waters. Then, you will have time to perform one of the following activities (not included in the overall tour price) : visit the Citadel of
Machu Picchu
for the second time or going up Huayna Picchu.
For the most adventurous people, we suggest going up Huayna Picchu (if it is not raining) from where you can appreciate the immensity of
Machu Picchu
, even more amazing being high and distant. Arriving at the top takes about two hours and a half and it must be before 1:00pm. It is necessary to register in an office at the beginning of the trail. An exciting adventure for the travelers who want to see, from the top, the nature and the carved stone emerging from the ground as a geological miracle.
Return train leaves Aguas Calientes in the afternoon, arrival in Cusco at 8:00PM.
