Machu Picchu:

Continuing the excursion to Machu Picchu, once you arrive at the train station, a representative of AS PERU TOURS & ADVENTURE will wait for you and take you to the bus station, where you will make a trip for another half hour, to the main entrance of Machu Picchu. Once we arrive, our guide will wait for us at the bus stop to begin the excursion to Machu Picchu in one day, a guided tour for approximately 2:30 hours, visiting the most important places of the Inca city.
