Upon arrival, we go to the Ministry of Culture to purchase the entrance ticket, then we take the bus to Machu Picchu for a guided tour of approximately 2 hours with free time for photos; later we return to Aguas Calientes, lunch (not included), and transfer to the station to take the local train back to Ollantaytambo, where our transport will be waiting to return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 23:30 hrs depending on the train schedule.
