Our journey to Machu Picchu by Bus Tour offers a more relaxed visit to the ancient Inca Citadel for those who prefer a leisurely pace when visiting Machu Picchu.

For many travelers to Peru and South America, visiting Machu Picchu is the highly anticipated climax of their journey or one of its most eagerly awaited highlights.

Situated in a breathtaking location, it stands as the most famous archaeological site in the continent. This remarkable ancient city remained hidden from the conquering Spaniards and was virtually lost to history until the early 20th century.

Itinerary

Departure from Cusco

We’ll pick you up between 7:30 and 8:00 am from your hotel or a designated meeting point to begin our luxurious vehicle journey to Machu Picchu.

As we travel through the Sacred Valley, you’ll experience diverse towns and the climate changes of the Andes Mountain Range, ending in the lush tropical regions.

Our first stop is Huaman Marca, where a delightful buffet lunch awaits. Following lunch, we’ll drive to Hidroelectrica, marking the start of our hike to the picturesque town of Aguas Calientes.

This trek promises stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, our knowledgeable guide will accompany you to your hotel for a comfortable night’s stay and a delicious dinner.

The next morning, your guide will outline the itinerary for the following day before you indulge in a relaxing soak in the hot springs (S./5), should you choose to do so.

We’ll commence our hike to Aguas Calientes at 4:00 AM (or optionally take a bus for USD 12 – one way), which will take approximately an hour and a half.

We aim to enter the citadel early to witness the clearing clouds as the first rays of daylight illuminate the Inca citadel, Machu Picchu.

Led by our certified guide, you’ll have a two-hour guided tour exploring the significance of each area within the citadel. Afterwards, you’ll have time to stroll, take photos, or opt for a hike up Huayna Picchu or visiting Machu Picchu Mountain (additional tickets required).

Around 11:30 am, we’ll return on foot to the town of Aguas Calientes, where we’ll catch the 1:20 pm train to Hidroelectrica. Our transport will be waiting to take us back to the city of Cusco.

Pedro recommended the tour to Machu Picchu via Hydroelectrica route understanding my preference to hike whenever possible. He listened to my questions and came up with the appropriate advice. Not only that, Pedro is very knowledgeable of Inca history and relevant places of interest around Cusco. Thanks to Pedro - I was able to visit Saqsaywaman, Temple of the Moon and Kusilluchayoc!

Thanks to them, we got to know incredible places in Peru. The person who helped us via WhatsApp was super friendly and attentive.
Thanks to the entire team because it was a wonderful experience.
Don't miss the tour to the Ballestas Islands and the dunes in Ica. Carlos, the man who drove the buggy, was very nice and super friendly, taking our photos and everything!
Thank you, thank you.

Excellent, very organized. We took the 7-day tour to Manu and Machu Picchu. The agency was always very attentive to us. The food in the jungle was excellent, as were the hikes. The guides, Lucho and Rubén, were excellent.

The Sacred Valley tour is highly recommended with Pedro Peru Jungle Tour. Excellent service and very affordable. Ask for the all-inclusive package. Don't miss it.

A great experience without a doubt. I took the 7 day tour to the reserved area of the manu and it was fantastic. The guide was very friendly, the cook always made good food and all the drivers/crew were very professional.

In the reserve we could find many types of fauna and the guide gave information at all times and knew many species.

Excellent tour (4 days, 3 nights) including the first morning at the Belén market. Very friendly. They fulfilled the itinerary with some flexibility and accommodated some minor requests we had. The accommodations are simple and have electricity and internet a couple of hours a day, but most of the time you'll be exploring the surrounding area, almost always by motorboat. Kevin, our guide, was pleasant and interesting; definitely a recommended experience.

If you’re looking for more than just a trip, and want to feel the energy of the Amazon while being guided by someone who truly embodies the spirit of the land, ask for Kevin.

From the moment I arrived in Peru, Peru Jungle Trips made everything feel effortless and personal. Pedro, the owner, greeted me at the airport with a warm, open energy that immediately set the tone for the rest of the journey. He thoughtfully organized both parts of my trip, first to Cusco and Machu Picchu, then deep into the Amazon jungle, handling every detail with care, sincerity.

What made it even more special was the consistency throughout the experience. Every driver and guide I encountered shared the same heartfelt energy. They were easy to find, always on time, and carried a calm presence that helped everything feel aligned. It allowed me to move through the journey with ease and actually enjoy the experience without stressing over logistics.

Then there was Kevin, my guide in the jungle, who took the experience to another level. With a sacred presence and deep knowledge of the land, he didn’t just show me the jungle, he helped me connect with it. He was a kind and gentle spirit, who was fully present. His guidance felt personal and grounded.

Peru Jungle Trips is more than a travel service. It is an experience curated by people who genuinely care. I’m grateful to have found it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and real❤️
