Reaching Machu Picchu by bus is the easy option. The ruins sit high in the Andes and are reached by a switchback road from Aguas Calientes, the town at the base of the citadel.
Buses run frequently through the day from Aguas Calientes. The ride takes about 30 minutes, climbing steep switchbacks with the valley opening up below.
Picking the right service matters for timing and comfort. Peruways handles bus tickets so you don’t have to queue twice in Aguas Calientes.
At the top, Machu Picchu does the rest: terraces, temples, and ridgeline views of the Andes.
