You do not need to walk the Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu. Most visitors — probably eight out of ten — arrive by train, and it is by far the most comfortable way in.
Peruways can book trains from Cusco (Poroy or Wanchaq), Urubamba or Ollantaytambo through to Aguas Calientes, and bus service options to or from Cusco. Service classes range from the panoramic Vistadome to the budget Expedition and the full-service Hiram Bingham.
Guided options bundle the train, the bus up from Aguas Calientes and a licensed guide at the citadel. A guide is required for the first circuit anyway, so the package often works out cheaper than booking parts separately.
If stairs are a concern, the citadel has three ticketed circuits of varying difficulty — Circuit 2 covers the main terraces with the fewest climbs. Book your trip with Peruways and we can match the circuit to your mobility.
