Peruways runs itineraries that pair Machu Picchu with Cusco — the two together are the trip most travelers come to Peru for. Start in Cusco (3,400 m), the former Inca capital, where cobbled streets wrap around Inca foundations and colonial churches. The Sacsayhuamán fortress above the city is a 20-minute walk from the main square.
From Cusco the train runs down through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes and up to Machu Picchu, listed by UNESCO in 1983 and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Peruways books the train, the Consettur bus from Aguas Calientes to the citadel gate, and a licensed guide.
Reserve a Cusco–Machu Picchu itinerary with Peruways and we’ll handle the transport, the tickets, and the hotel bookings.
