How to Get to Machu Picchu (with Kids) | Plus Ollantaytambo & Peru Train Travel

This vlog details how to get to Machu Picchu from Cusco by train, with an overnight in Aguas Calientes and a stop in Ollantaytambo to see its archeological park (ruins) on the way back. While we did ours as a DIY tour with young kids, this trip is enjoyable for all ages and formal tours are plentiful from any of the towns in the Sacred Valley.
