How to get to Machu Picchu in 2024?
The Traditional Route
The most common way to get to Machu Picchu is to take a train from the city of Cusco or Ollantaytambo to the small town of Aguas Calientes, located at the foot of the citadel. From there, you can take a bus that will take you directly to the entrance of Machu Picchu. However, this route may be busier and less exciting than the next option.
The 3-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
If you are looking for a truly authentic and challenging experience, the 3-day Inca Trail is the perfect option. This route will immerse you in the very essence of the Inca culture, while you travel ancient trails and enjoy impressive landscapes full of history and mystery.
DAY 1: CUSCO – CHINCHEROS – MARAS – MORAY – OLLANTAYTAMBO
Your adventure begins in the city of Cusco, where you will meet your guide and group. Then, you will head towards the town of Chincheros, famous for its traditional textiles. You will continue towards the impressive Salineras de Maras, where you will be able to see hundreds of salt wells arranged in terraces. Afterwards, you will visit the incredible circular terraces of Moray, used by the Incas as an agricultural experimental center. Finally, you will arrive in Ollantaytambo, where you will spend the night.
DAY 2: Ollantaytambo – Km 104 -Wiñayhuayna – Intipunku – Machu Picchu – Aguas Calientes
This day will begin with a tour of the impressive archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo. Then, you will begin the Inca Trail itself, walking along ancient trails that meandered through imposing mountains and deep valleys. You will pass through the Wiñayhuayna camp and arrive at the impressive Puerta del Sol, known as Intipunku, where you will get your first panoramic view of Machu Picchu. Finally, you will descend towards the citadel itself and spend the night in Aguas Calientes.
DAY 3: Machu Picchu
On this day, you will thoroughly explore the incredible citadel of Machu Picchu with your expert guide. You will discover the secrets behind the impressive buildings, such as the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Enclosure and the Agricultural Terraces. After a complete visit, you will have the option to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain to enjoy unique panoramic views.
Additional Options after the Inca Trail
Huayna Picchu
If you are looking for an additional adventure, you can purchase a ticket to climb Huayna Picchu, the imposing mountain that rises behind Machu Picchu. This challenging hike will take you to the top, from where you will enjoy stunning views of the citadel and the surrounding area.
