Machu Picchu sits high in the Andes of southern Peru, and knowing exactly where it is on the map makes planning the trip a lot easier.
Peruways walks travelers through the geography so you arrive with context, not just a GPS pin.
The citadel is in the Cusco Region, on a ridge above the Urubamba River Valley. The closest town is Aguas Calientes — also called Machu Picchu Pueblo — which sits at the base of the ridge and serves as the staging point for the shuttle up to the gate.
Peruways runs the usual access combinations: train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, then the Consettur shuttle up to the citadel. Guides fill in the Sacred Valley sites and highland landmarks you pass on the way.
Plan the trip with Peruways and the pin on the map stops being abstract.
