#GettingfromCuscotoMachuPicchu
The easiest way to get to from Cusco to Machu Picchu is to take the train to Aguas Calientes (the town located a few miles from the site). It’s a scenic 3.5-hour trip each way along tracks that run right along the Urubamba River in the Sacred Valley, with dramatic canyon walls on either side.
#MachuPicchuTours
The way to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu is to walk as part of a multi-day Machu Picchu tour. Thousands of people hike to Machu Picchu each year. Here’s how.
The most famous way to hike to Machu Picchu is along a section of one of the hundreds of Incan Trails built as the empire expanded. Dozens of tour operators offer Inca Trail hikes to Machu Picchu, with varying durations and levels of comfort (though all require camping). Note that the Inca Trail leading to Machu Picchu is closed for the entire month of February every year.
For those who would like a less crowded experience, or are looking to see and experience other aspects of Peru on their way to Machu Picchu, there are a number of diverse hiking alternatives: the second most popular way to hike to Machu Picchu is around massive Salkantay Mountain, one of the most imposing peaks in the Peruvian Andes at 20,569 feet. Many tour companies offer Salkantay Treks, but Kondor Path Tours Peru, an established and well-regarded Cusco tour company with a focus on sustainable and responsible tourism, offers the Express Salkantay Trek, which shaves a day off the normal itinerary for those who want to push their physical limits on their way to Machu Picchu.
Travelers interested in archaeology should consider the Choquequirao Tour with a Machu Picchu extension. This itinerary includes spectacular (but very tough) hiking in the steep Apurimac Canyon and exploration of the Choquequirao archaeological site before arriving at Aguas Calientes and then exploring Machu Picchu.
The Lares Trek Adventure of Peru offers a great combination of Andean hiking and cultural encounters within Andean - Quechua communities before arriving in Aguas Calientes to explore the ancient citadel.
#VinicuncaRainbowMountainTrek, also known as Montaña de Siete Colores or Rainbow Mountain, can be visited from Cusco, one of Peru’s most attractive tourist hubs, from where you can also visit Machu Picchu. The top of Rainbow Mountain sits at 5,100 m / 16,732 feet.
Cusco City Tour, Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is now known for its archaeological richness and Spanish colonial architecture. Climb up to the Archeological Park of Sacsayhuaman and visit a fortress with the same name, a beautiful place that radiates peace and quiet. Admire the enormous rocks measuring up to 4 meters high that were used in its construction.
Next, head to Q'enqo and the ancient temple of the Puma, where you observe an altar in the inner part of a huge rock that was once used for sacrifices, and then Tambomachay, once believed to be sacred fountains of life and health. On the way, take in a panoramic view from Puca Pucara, a watchtower that controlled the entrance to the city.
Visit to Wakatinku INCA TRAIL TREK Alpaca Expeditions
The social projects we have done with villages far from Cusco is the driving force to what makes us work so hard. Often our clients ask to help themselves. This was an amazing day when two of our clients and our team set off to Wakatinku village to bring needed supplies like toothbrushes, towels, soap, books and over 100 donated sneakers from Brooks Running Shoes that our clients secured. “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

Peru Travel 2018
Lima - Paracas - Huacachina - Nazca - Titicaca - Cusco - Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu
This was an absolutely breathtaking holiday in one of the most profound and beautiful countries in the world. Travel time was during April - May 2018, just after the rainy season, so everything (apart from the desert and Nazca plains) was lush and green and bursting with nature.
Travel from Lima to Cusco was with PeruHop ( who were absolutely brilliant, would highly recommend, especially if you're travelling alone like I was, as certain areas of this country should still be approached with caution (lima for example). Excellent guides and comfortable overnight buses.
Sacred Valley and excursions around Cusco were provided by Loki Travel in Cusco (
Machu Picchu tour was provided by Llama Path ( who were excellent. The tour I went on was the Machu Picchu by Train. I was due to do the Inca Trail trek but unfortunately I was hospitalised with e-Coli and Salmonella after drinking the water from the Cantalloc Aqueducts - DO NOT DO THIS!! Despite the tour guide telling me it's good for your soul pffft.
If there's anyone planning a trip to Peru feel free to drop a comment below and I'll do my best to help!
