For Quarry Trail trekkers and train travellers, the bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu departs at 6.00 am. The estimated arrival time is between 6.30 to 7.00 am. The sun rises at Machu Picchu at approximately 5.30 am, so it’s not possible to be there in time for sunrise.

Due to Intrepid’s internal safety policy, our leaders are specifically prohibited from recommending or assisting with booking trips to the mountaintop ruins of Wayna Picchu.

This morning after breakfast, you’ll have loads of free time to delve deeper into all Cusco has to offer. Those with weary legs may want to simply grab a coffee from a cafe at Plaza de Armas and do some people-watching. For those who prefer an active adventure, the hills surrounding Cusco are idyllic for mountain biking. You may want to consider purchasing a Boleto Turistico (tourism ticket) It gains access to the many fascinating museums here, such as the Contemporary Art Museum, Regional History Museum and Qosqo Native Art Museum. Please speak with your tour leader about this for more details. .

Amazon Jungle – Guided nature walk

Today’s jungle walk is about 11 km. The paths can get quite muddy, and the walk is quite tiring for some but well worth it!

One of our local representatives will meet you at the airport and will accompany you back to the hotel.
