Reaching Machu Picchu is half the story. The ride up — whether on the Consettur shuttle from Aguas Calientes or on the PeruRail or Inca Rail train from the Sacred Valley — climbs through tight switchbacks past Inca terraces, cascading streams and views that pull straight down into the Urubamba gorge.

Every bend reframes the mountainside. Historians, hikers and anyone who likes a good window seat tend to agree that the approach to this UNESCO World Heritage site sticks with them.
