How to Get There
There are 2 main options: take the train or the Inca Trail. After flying into Cusco from Lima, you can transfer directly to the train station and head through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu. The train ride takes about 4 hours each direction, and winds through beautiful scenery in the Urubamba River Valley. It is recommended that you spend the night in the Sacred Valley or Aguas Calientes before visiting Machu Picchu, so that you can get to Machu Picchu right when it opens the next morning.
There are 3 main types of trains: Expedition (formerly known as Backpacker), Vista dome, and Hiram Bingham. The Vista dome features wide windows and skylights that allow you to really appreciate the views of the Sacred Valley. The leather seats are comfortable and there is air-conditioning. The Expedition train is a more affordable option, while the Hiram Bingham is the luxury version.
Once in Aguas Calientes, you need to take the shuttle bus up the zig-zag Hiram Bingham Highway to the entrance to Machu Picchu. The shuttle takes about 20 minutes and leaves every half hour, beginning at 5:30am. You can purchase a ticket for the shuttle when you purchase your Machu Picchu entrance ticket.
