This 2-day tour of Machu Picchu is the most relaxing option and is the ideal Machu Picchu tour for seniors or anyone who wants to take their time to visit the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. There’s no rush, and there’s no climbing or hiking involved when you take your time to visit Machu Picchu in 2 days. You just relax and enjoy the view as we take you on the journey from your hotel in Cusco to Aguas Calientes (also known as Machupicchu Town) on the first day. Then, we always recommend an early night’s sleep there so that you can wake up early and are fresh and ready to see the Machu Picchu archeological site with us on the second day.
