[cuscoexperience]

There are many ways to save money if you want to visit Peru, specially Machu Picchu, Inca trail, Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo, Pisac and other tours in Cusco. I will give you some advices in the next posts, but now I want to show you a tipical Schedule for Machu Picchu:

Well, the day starts with an early morning rise to transfer to Ollantaytambo train station (02 hours from Cusco by bus) for a two- hour train journey to the famous Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu, also known as "The Lost City of the Incas".

Arrive at Aguas Calientes station where you can visit the hot spring and go to Mandor (a waterfall at the border of the jungle), then you will sleep in a hostal/hotel in Aguas Calientes.

The next day climbing 6km of winding road, arrive to the incredible citadel of Machu Picchu. Upon arrival, we´ll participate in a guided tour of the Citadel, visiting the Main Plaza, the Circular Tower, the Sacred Sun Dial, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows and various burial grounds. After the tour you will have time to stroll around the archeological site at your leisure or you will have the opportunity of climbing the "Waynapicchu montain". After that back to Ollantaytambo by train in the afternoon and by bus to Cusco.
