Overview

Awe-inspiring sunrise at Machu Picchu Citadel with our exclusive two-day Machu Picchu Sunrise Tour departing from Cusco.

Machu Picchu, the legendary lost city of the Incas, stands atop the wish list for many adventurers exploring South America. Crafted to provide you with an unparalleled adventure, our two-day itinerary ensures an unforgettable journey.

Watching the sunrise over the citadel is a rare privilege, reserved for the fortunate few. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, delve deeper into the rich history of this sacred Inca site.

For those seeking an extra thrill, inquire about hiking Huayna Picchu Mountain when booking your tour. With limited slots available daily, only 200 adventurers are permitted on this trail, ensuring an intimate experience and preventing overcrowding.

As a locally owned and operated travel company based in Cusco, our team of guides are natives of the region, offering unparalleled insight into Inca life and culture.

While Machu Picchu welcomes visitors year-round, the optimal time to visit is during the dry season, spanning from March to November, to avoid slippery trails during the rainy season.

Later, your guide will meet you at the hotel to brief you on the next day’s itinerary.

DAY 2:

Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco

The day begins with our visit to the lost city of Machu Picchu, with an early morning transfer from your hotel in Aguas Calientes to the citadel of Machu Picchu. This trip takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the top. Our guide will help you with the security process and the entrance to the citadel.

Once inside, you will marvel at the breathtaking view of Machu Picchu as the morning clouds disperse, revealing the sun’s warm rays illuminating its ancient walls. You will enjoy a two-hour guided tour before having free time to explore the citadel on your own. If you have booked an excursion to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, our guide will direct you to the trailhead.

In addition, you can opt for a hike to the Sun Gate or Intipunku, the entrance to the citadel for those who have hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
