How is the route from Cusco to Machu Picchu by train?
Most tourists make their trip to Machu Picchu by train departing from the city of Cusco. This route is the fastest, safest and most comfortable. Usually the trip begins in Cusco with a journey by road to Ollantaytambo. In this town of the Sacred Valley is the station with the largest number of daily train departures to Machu Picchu. The train ride takes 1 hour 45 minutes on average. The last station is in the town of Aguas Calientes, also called Machu Picchu village. From there, the last part of the journey takes 30 minutes by bus, through the slopes of a mountain until arriving at the entrance gate to Machu Picchu. In total, an average distance of 110 kilometers is covered. The visitor can complete this trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu in 4 hours. In addition, there are other routes to the Inca citadel, such as the Inca Trail 4 days or the alternative route by Hydroelectric (Amazon route) of 6 or 7 hours. However, this train trip through Ollantaytambo is the one most visitors use. The return trip follows the same route.
