Description
The traditional way to get Machu Picchu is by train. The departure is from the
San Pedro station in Cusco early in the morning. It takes nearly 3 hours and
a half to get to Aguas Calientes, following the course of Vilcanota River. In
Machu Picchu we have about 2 hours and a half for our guided tour and another
hour
and
a
half to explore the ruins individually. The train back to Cusco departs around
4:00pm.

You can combine a visit to Machu Picchu with a visit to the Sacred Valley: in that case you do not take the train in Cusco but in Ollantaytambo, in the Valley. Another option is to stay for the night in Aguas Calientes and visit the ruins of Machu PIcchu (again) on the Second Day. There are hotels in Aguas Calientes from $ 10.00 till $ 200 per person for the night. You can also visit the famous Hot Water Springs in Aguas Calientes.
