WHAT IS MACHU PICCHU ?

A plateau between two lush, green peaks in the Andes became a building site for the Incan Empire’s most famous citadel. Abandoned only 100 years after its construction and never found by the Spanish conquistadors, it was left to nature until 1911 when explorer Hiram Bingham rediscovered it for the outside world. A hidden city in the warm clouds of a nearby jungle, it remains bewitchingly inaccessible other than by foot or train.

While we don’t offer guided tours to Machu Picchu, we will be happy to give you recommendations as to the most efficient and cost-effective way to organize your visit. We will also discuss any inquiries that you may have regarding the best time to visit, the altitude and physical preparedness necessary.

 
ENTRANCE
 
To get to Machu Picchu you would need two types of tickets: 
 
1. Train ticket from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes
 
From there you will take a bus – buses run frequently and getting a ticket is not a problem. However the train tickets are unfortunately expensive.
 
Book the train to Machu Picchu here.
 
2. Entrance ticket to Machu Picchu
 
Both train ticket and entrance ticket to Machu Picchu can be bought online. We recommend you buy both at your earliest convenience as spaces are limited by the government and fill in quickly.
