Since the train tickets to Aguas Calientes are not very cheap, many visitors use the route along the railway line between Hidroelectrica and Aguas Calientes. The tour buses from Cusco arrive daily in Hidroelectrica between 14 and 15 o'clock, or drive in the direction of Cusco. If you do not want to walk this beautiful route in a pack of countless hikers, you should avoid the time.

The whole of the area around Machu Picchu is awash with culture and history. Soak up as much as you can before climbing up the steps to the village itself

A train like in the old days, a real experience when driving through the village. Here, the market stalls must partially be folded. But only way to reach the village, because there is no road for cars here.
