The final leg to Machu Picchu is the Consettur bus from Aguas Calientes to the citadel gate — a 25-minute switchback climb through cloud forest. The ticket is required for anyone not planning to walk the 90-minute stone staircase.
Fourteen hairpins and almost 400 vertical meters of climb, with the Urubamba gorge dropping below. At the top, the Inca stonework does the rest of the work.
Peruways sells the bus alongside train and entrance tickets, so one booking covers the full day. Online booking also skips the Aguas Calientes ticket queue, which runs long after 7 a.m.
