Though Machu Picchu was
uninhabited for 600 years (at least), this historical Inca citadel is one
of the true marvels of the world !! The magnificent, breathtaking, collection
of stone ruins, palaces, towers, temples, terraces, staircases and other
remains, nestling in mountains, surrounded by beautiful vegetation, is
an unforgettable lifetime experience-in itself worth the journey to Peru
!! Machu Picchu can be reached by railroad, helicopter or by walking the
Inca Trail. The entry point to reach Machu Picchu from Lima is Cuzco which
is connected to Lima by daily flights.
Aguas Calientes
is the closest town to Machu Picchu being just at the base of the Machu
Picchu Citadel and on the train route from Cuzco. It is a good choice for
reasonably priced hotels as an alternative to the pricey Machu Picchu Sanctuary
Lodge which is the only hotel actually on the Citadel. Aguas Calients is
only less than a mile away from the Puente Ruinas train station. From Aguas
Calientes there are buses that will take you to the ruins in minutes.
