Machu Picchu — the Inca citadel on a 2,430 m ridge in the Andes — is one of South America’s few sites that live up to the hype, and Peruways runs direct bus services up to Aguas Calientes so you have a solid alternative to the train.
Buses are modern and climate-controlled, the drive is through the Sacred Valley past Chinchero, Urubamba, and the Ollantaytambo fortress, and the operator doesn’t skimp on maintenance.
Pre-booking through Peruways avoids the on-the-day scramble — the Aguas Calientes bus queue is a real thing in May through September, and showing up without a confirmed seat during the dry-season peak is a gamble.
For first-timers and veteran travelers alike, Peruways turns the trip into one booking. Lock in the bus seat and get the Machu Picchu day on the books.
