Getting to Machu Picchu
Getting to machu Picchu the access is Aguas Calientes, recently
renamed Machu Picchu Pueblo. There are two considerations:
Hike the Inca Trail by booking at least 3 months ahead at an agency.
Benefits: see wonderful scenery and other Inca ruins; get to Machu Picchu
before other travelers.
Risks, Difficulties: medium difficulty level; cannot do individually,
must book from an agency.
Access to the trail is limited; certain numbers of tourists are allowed to pass
during certain periods (numbers are subject to change).
Individually you are not allowed to go through, only with organized groups.
If you book for such a trip from an agency, then you will be guided by
authorized English-speaking guides and will get to know other travelers as well.
You need acclimatization, must get used to height level, therefore you should
stay at least 2 or 3 days in Cuzco before taking the trip. Hiking experience and
a thorough medical checkup is necessary before taking on the ancient Inca Trail.
Our Inca Trail to Machu Picchu hike article will give you further information
and advice on getting prepared.
