Hiking Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu: Do you have to hike all the way?
I'm going to Machu Picchu in April, and I want to know if you have to hike to get there. I know there is a train, but does the train take you within a reasonable distance of the actual site? Or do you have to take a trail to get to the site?
From Cuzco to Aguas Calientes you can go by train (about 3 hours trip). Once u are in Aguas Calientes u can take a bus (about 20 min) or hike (actually not hike but walk up a road and some stairs) about 40 min. Then you are in Machupichu where you have walk around the walls, ruins, rooms, stairs, etc.
If you want, you can hike the Waynapichu mountain (next to Machucpichu) but u have to check if it is opened because after some "incidents" it is used to be closed.
