In the morning en route to Machu Picchu, a brunch will be served as you watch the stunning landscape unfold. Upon arrival at Aguas Calientes, private minibuses await passengers for the fifteen-minute journey up to the citadel. At the Machu Picchu entrance, guests can go straight into the citadel as tickets will have been pre-purchased for all. A guide will escort you around the citadel in small groups, pointing out the best of the ruins and recounting the history of this Inca settlement.
Following the guided tour, guests are given the choice to wander alone through this fascinating World Heritage site, or to enjoy Afternoon Tea at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, the Orient-Express hotel located right at the entrance to the citadel. After the day exploring the marvel of Machu Picchu, your reserved suite awaits you in the Sanctuary Lodge.
