A beautiful place, the climb of Huayno Picchu
Con
overcrowding, degredation, lack of rule enforcement
In a nutshell
Walk the Inca trail and sit in excitement when you see this ancient city.
33 Reviews You will have to climb for a very narrow path, it will take you 45 minutes to 1 ½ hour to complete it and you will arrive to a plce where you will see and amazing landscape of Machu Picchu Citadel, it will take you 45 minutes to go down. The time depends of you physical condition. There is also A...
46 Reviews We started our trek at km 88 and reached Winay Wayna on the afternoon of the second day, but by the time we hiked down to the ruins we were all so tired we were unable to explore properly and failed to see everything. On the second day i was so tired that i was on my hands and knees several times,...

"United Mice" Inca Trail Guides
3 Reviews Breakfast consisted of some drink (coffee, tea, cacao), cereals, milk, pancakes and bread with butter and jam. Not amazing but big enough to keep hiking all morning. There was usually a coffee break at 11 or so...
5 Reviews If you are craving the disco on the Inca trail then maybe you should rethink why you are here. Sadly on the last night there is a bit of an opportunity to party it up which I think is a shame. There is plenty of time to do that in Cusco if you want. A night on the trail usually consists of stories...
32 Reviews MACCHU PICCHU The way to get to Macchu Picchu is by "The Expedition Train" from The city of Cuzco This train follows the Urubamaba River along the Urubamamba valley to the small town of "Aguas Calientes". The information that I had for this tip when I last used the train is no longer...
9 Reviews When you come out of the train station, you have to go through the craft market, then cross a bridge. To the left, close to or just under another bridge, you will see the Consettur buses all lined up. If you want to buy your ticket to Machu Picchu, the Consettur office is just on the side of it. The...
15 Reviews Have you left for Machu Picchu yet? I'm was hoping someone could get me the contact information (email, or phone number) to a jewelry shop in the town (Aguas Caliente). It's about the 3rd shops on the right prior to the ticket booth for the warm springs pools. I think it's on Av. Pachacutec. The...
6 Reviews You probably have read this again and again in the Peru travel guides, but it's true --- Burping publicly is considered very offensive, disrespectful and rude when in Peru. Here in USA, one of my colleagues burped and our Peruvian friend was quite annoyed. I don't know the history behind this...
5 Reviews There are 16 llamas in Machu Picchu, with colorful pompoms on their ear tags—I think they serve as lawn mowers on the terraces. They limit the llamas to 16—if a baby is born, the oldest or sickest one is killed.
5 Reviews Being so high above the sea level, most visitors suffer the "altitude sickness". In the first 2-3 days you will feel a little headache and some stomach problems. To fight that is advisable to drink coca tea and take it easy, move real slow. If you spend 2 days in Cuzco before the trail you shouldn't...
2 Reviews Quite simply, there aren't any. You'll quickly lose your inhibitions about relieving yourself in the great outdoors, because you won't really have a choice when necessity calls. The trek group with whom we went, provided a small tent which we referred to as the "crapper" as much for its smell as...
6 Reviews Hi, Just a quick warning for those thinking of booking a tour company to see Machu Pichu in the future. We went recently with Gecko (Peregrine) Travel and after promising in our itinerary that we would be get to spend all day at the Machu Pichu site and leave on a late afternoon train we arrived...
1 Review Don't get me wrong. Of course you need to visit Machu Picchu, of course you need to get there. But because of this obvious necessity of mass tourism, the whole place has evolved and continuing to evolve into a superficial tourist geared location. Not inside Machu Picchu itself, thankgoodness, but...
9 Reviews You're at about 9500 feet above sea level. The sun is real intense at this level. If you took the pills to fight altitude sickness like I did, that lowers the resistance to fighting off sunburn also. So come prepared. 1) Bring sunscreen. You'll be in the sun from about 8am until 5pm at the most...
5 Reviews If you are hiking the Inca trail, definitely bring an emergency rain poncho. We hiked during the "dry season" and on day 3 it poured. My backpack and everything in it would've been soaked without the poncho. A light rain jacket to put over a thin fleece is perfect for hiking during the day so you...
15 Reviews Stumbled across a really great way to see machu Piccu and to see some authentic Peruvian life along the way. Some friends found a Dutch guy in Cusco who arranges tours on behalf of a Coffee cooperative. It is a bit of a DIY tour in terms of not having a guide with you every step of the way but that...
11 Reviews We can upon these impressive ruins which were only rediscovered in 1941 enroute to the Sun gate as you can see from my photo restoration work in going on using techniques which are as ancient as the ruins
7 Reviews I did my Machu Picchu hike with GAP adventures. They provided accommodation in Cuzco, transport to the start of the hike, English speaking guide, porters, meals on hike, tent accommodation on the trail, train ticket back to Cuzco. I paid about 600 USD for this. I found everything professionally...
8 Reviews Hopefully, it won't be raining when you see the ruins of Machu Picchu -- so you better plan for it! I visited late April and the weather was purrrrfect! The recommended time by most experts is mid-April to May, or September to october, to avoid the rainy season and the tourist crowds. June to...
20 Reviews If you forgot to buy your entrance ticket to Machu Picchu prior to boarding the Consettur bus, there is an INC office at the gate entrance. Other places you can buy them are at Calle Bernardo in Cusco, at the main plaza in Aguas Calientes or from authorized travel agents.

The Inca Trail is probably one of the best ways to visit the Machu Picchu, though is a hard trekking at a high level above the sea. You follow the trail (most of the time) that ancient Incas followed...
