| Re: how to go to machu picchu? Hi there, Most people who visit Machu Picchu Peru come by way of train from Cusco, taking about 3-4 hours. If you want to go in style, you should book the Hiram Bingham-class trip, which costs around $500, but It includes entry into Machu Picchu, as well as a guide and a gourmet meal each way. The train eventually takes you to the town of Aguas Calientes, which is the general base town for Machu Picchu tourism. |

| Re: how to go to machu picchu? Hi. When I visited, I took the train from Cuzco. It was a while back, but I think it took around 3-4 hours. Amazing scenery along the way. If you are wondering about how to get to Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail, there are two main routes/trails. One takes four days, I believe, and the other easier trail about half that. Both trails start just outside of the town of Ollantaytambo. |
