Visiting Machu Picchu doesn’t necessarily require a strenuous hike. While hiking the famous Inca Trail is a popular choice for adventurous travelers, there are alternative ways to reach this iconic UNESCO World Heritage site.

For those seeking a more leisurely approach, you can take a comfortable train ride from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo. From there, a short bus ride or a scenic hike leads you to the entrance of Machu Picchu. This route allows you to enjoy the spectacular views of the Sacred Valley without the physical demands of a long trek.

Alternatively, you can explore different trekking routes such as the shorter Inca Trail or opt for a combination of train and bus services. This flexibility caters to travelers of all ages and fitness levels, ensuring that everyone can experience the majesty of Machu Picchu at their own pace.
