Follow these easy steps:

1. Book a flight to Lima, Peru (LIM)

2. Book a flight from Lima to Cusco (CUZ)

3. Once you land, take a taxi or bus to Ollantaytambo train station.

4. There are two train stations (Peru Rail & Inca Rail) you must take to Aguas Calientes, which is the nearest city to Machu Picchu. The train ride is about 1 hour and 30 mins. You can purchase tickets online or in person.

5. Once you land in Aguas Calientes, if you did not purchase your tickets already, you will have to go to "El Centro" to the tourist booth where you will then fill out your name and information. They will then give you a number to stand in line at the Cultural Center, which is a few feet away to purchase your ticket.

6. Since Machu Picchu is about 30 mins away, and most buses typically leave in the morning, we recommend going the next day around 6 or 7 am, that way you have time to rest as the walk is about 2-3 hours depending on your pace. You can purchase the bus ticket to Machu Picchu here.

7. Once you get off the bus, it is recommended that you get with a tour guide as they have FULL access to the site.

And that's it!
