Once past the entrance checkpoint, head straight to the Guardhouse viewpoint, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the entire citadel. Then, begin exploring the urban sector of the Lost City of the Incas.

After the guided tour, bid farewell to this magical place and take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes, where you’ll have lunch on your own. Later, at 2:55 p.m., 3:20 p.m., or 6:20 p.m., board your train back to Ollantaytambo. Upon arrival, our staff will be waiting to escort you by tourist minivan back to Cusco city.
