How to get to Machu Picchu?
From Cusco to Machu Picchu about 110 km. It is necessary by public transport or a taxi to reach the railway station of Pori in Cuzco or to the railway station "Ollanta" in the Sacred Valley. From there, take a tourist or regular train to Aguas Calientes. Trains of different classes are followed at intervals of 15 minutes, and follow up to Machu Picchu for 3 to 4 hours. At the destination, go to the bus stop and another 15 minutes by bus to the entrance to the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, located at an altitude of 2400 m above sea level.
The same road from Cuzco can be reached by taxi. But it is much more interesting to go by rail, smoothly climbing up, while the motor road pretty much winds through the serpentines of the mountains.
