Consettur runs the only bus service from Aguas Calientes to the Machu Picchu entrance — the 25-minute switchback climb that most visitors take rather than hiking the stairs. PeruWays books the tickets so you don’t queue at the counter in Aguas Calientes.
Why Choose PeruWays for Machu Picchu Bus Tickets?
1. One less queue in Aguas Calientes: Pre-book through PeruWays and skip the ticket counter in the morning rush. Match your bus departure to your Machu Picchu entry time so the pacing stays right.
2. Frequent Departures: Consettur runs continuously from 05:30 to about 15:30, with the first wave of buses departing in rapid succession for the sunrise entry windows. Whatever your entry time, there’s a bus to match it.
3. One-way or round-trip: Round-trip is the common choice; one-way makes sense if you plan to walk down the stairs after your visit (90 minutes, mostly cloud forest, surprisingly pleasant). Both options are around $12 one-way or $24 round-trip.
4. Dedicated Customer Service: PeruWays’ team is on WhatsApp if dates shift or your train runs late. The Consettur schedule is reliable but the surrounding logistics (train, entry window) sometimes aren’t.
