Machu Picchu sits high in the Peruvian Andes, and getting there smoothly starts with sorting the bus connection. Peruways handles the booking end so you don’t arrive in Aguas Calientes and discover the queue starts at 5 a.m.
Buses in and around the citadel are Consettur’s 25-minute switchback shuttle from Aguas Calientes up to the main gate. Peruways sells seats on these alongside the long-distance coaches you may need to reach Hidroeléctrica or Cusco. Modern vehicles, scheduled departures, no lottery.
Booking in advance also locks in the time slot. In high season (May–September) same-day tickets at the Aguas Calientes ticket office can mean a two-hour wait.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, having the bus side pre-booked saves time on arrival. Reserve at Peruways.
