An intelligent visit to Machu Picchu

The bimodal trip from Cusco to aguas calientes to visit Machu Picchu: - you buy at the website and chose between: inka train or Peru rail. As foreigners you can only buy tourist trips starting at 56 dollars. - you take a mini van from inka train terminal to ollantaytambo and then the train to Machu Picchu town (known also as aguas calientes as they have hot springs) - Buy the bus ticket to Machu Picchu in advance in the office and the mountain MP near the plaza de armas in a cultural center - buy the tickets to Machu Picchu in the official website, check that there are several trails and check availability on every trail. Everyone buys either one or two and there is always place for the 3 and 4 - near the main square you can buy the tickets one day in advance but is always full of people and you have to usually wait under the rain - book a guide with your hotel, they usually charge you 150 soles for private tour. Ours, Agustín, was a lovely one. #train #machupicchu #Peru #Aguascalientes #Ollantaytambo #Cusco
