Just like the classic full-day Machu Picchu tour where you can opt to travel by train or private transport, embarking on a 2-day or multiple-day tour to the Inca citadel offers you the choice between traveling by train or car. Nevertheless, no matter what the mode of transport, Machu Picchu is a destination worthy of thorough exploration.
Highlights of a multiple-day Machu Picchu Tour:
- A relaxed and luxurious tour experience
- No large crowds when doing a circuit tour
- Waking up with the sunrise to spectacular views of mountain ranges
- Scenic drive along the Sacred Valley and its verdant landscapes
- Visits and overnight stays in traditional communities including farms

Machu Picchu – the most famous and iconic ruins of Peru where you can explore various chambers of this ancient citadel including the Royal Tomb, Temple of Three Windows, Temple of the Sun, the Condor Temple, the Intihuatana or sundial rock, the main plaza, and so much more.
