TRAIN OPTION

You can visit Machu Picchu for a longer time and have enough time if you are planning to do HUAYNAPICCHU or MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN, which require a minimum of approximately 3 hours. After visiting the Machu Picchu area for 7 to 8 hours, you must return to the town of Aguas Calientes to catch a train at 6:20 p.m. to Ollantambo for 1.5 hours then by car to Cusco for 2 more hours to arrive in Cusco around 10:30 p.m.

CAR OPTION
