The 25-minute shuttle bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu is the final leg between the train and the ruins’ entrance. Peruways bundles the ticket into your main booking.
Through the Peruways platform you pick the departure, the number of passengers, and confirm in a few clicks. The ticket is good for any run on the day — no fixed slot — and in both directions, so you can walk down later if you prefer.
The bus itself climbs the switchbacks of the Hiram Bingham Road with the Urubamba gorge dropping away below. Views are a worthwhile side benefit.
Buses run continuously from 05:30 to 15:30. Book shuttle, train, and site ticket in one pass at Peruways.
