There are the following ways to get to Machu Picchu:
By train, you can travel to Machu Picchu using the services of Peru Rail or Inca Rail, “the only two railway companies,” with a variety of daily departures from the train stations at San Pedro in Cusco, Poroy “on the outskirts of Cusco,” Urubamba, and Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley.
BY TREKKING: Travelers can get to Machu Picchu by hiking through the Andes, valleys, ravines, etc.
Great Hikes:
- CUSCO CITY
- Street: Casa Garcilaso, Calle Garcilaso, Cusco.
- Opening hours: 07:00–20:00.
Tickets can also be purchased online to secure spaces, as spaces are limited.
Each day, the number of people who can begin the ascent to the Huaynapicchu mountain in Machu Picchu is restricted to 400. This figure is tightly controlled and includes the entire support staff. The hiking trail effectively closes for the day, and no more reservations can be made once this 400-person cap is reached. Make reservations four months in advance to guarantee a spot at Huayna Picchu.
The Peruvian government regulates ticket sales to Machu Picchu through the Ministry of Culture of Cusco, which has a main office in downtown Cusco, and with direct online sales via the website of the Ministry of Culture.
The reservations can be made whenever you want. As things stand, it is preferable to purchase tickets for Machu Picchu at least four months in advance to secure entrance passes and a trip to Peru to visit Machu Picchu.
You can most definitely go on a guided tour of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu before visiting the magnificent mountain of Huayna Picchu. The only suggestion is to book or purchase the excursion and tickets with Kondor Path Tours in advance.
Guides are readily available in Machu Picchu. Make reservations in advance to have the best tour guides; for the 2-hour tour, ten people per group enter with a guide.
The Inca stone citadel is open to visitors from 6:00 until 14:00. There are five tourist circuits in Machu Picchu, with about 800 visitors entering each hour; visitors must select the circuit and visit hours in advance for one of the best vacations and visits to this mysterious world wonder.
The Machu Picchu thermal baths are at the end of Avenida Pachacuteq, “the second and last main avenue.” It takes about 20 minutes to walk there from the main square.
Tourists can plan it independently, but it can be a complete mess due to the lengthy waits and lack of guidance. If you hire Kondor Path Tours, they will handle all pertinent procedures responsibly and offer recommendations.
Everyone is welcome to explore and visit the Machu Picchu site; there is no upper age limit. However, to ensure the best like-mindedness on guided tours, it is advised to reserve an appropriate excursion for each age group.

There isn’t much room for passengers’ items, so luggage must weigh no more than 5 kilos, or 11 pounds. The principal suitcases can be left at your hotels in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.
Machu Picchu Pueblo has many different lodging options, also known as Aguas Calientes, to suit every traveler’s preferences. To have a peaceful night and explore Machu Picchu the following day with all the energy of an incredible vacation, the only thing that matters is choosing a lodging with an excellent reputation, free of noise from the train or river.
