Getting to Machu Picchu on your own is quite easy, but it does require advance planning. Machu Picchu lay hidden from the world for such a long time because its location is fairly remote and inaccessible. Because of its remote location and multiple connections required, many tourists are often confused on how to get there, and often settle for the expensive package tour from Lima or Cuzco. Contrary to popular believes, you don't need to hike through mountains to get to Machu Picchu, and most senior citizens with decent health can do the trip. Forget the Machu Picchu package tour; you can do it on your own cheaply by following the steps in this video and the details on our website below

[@SYLFan2008]

Which is the best month to travel there? I am hoping the weather won't be too cold around mid-August (my wife's birthday) of 2016.

[@Escapetraveler]

+SYLFan2008 No, it will be fine in mid-august. Really anytime of the year is fine.

So beautiful

[@macded78]

hi, if i arrive at cusco at 7am, is it better to book a hotel at ollantaytambo? thanks

[@Escapetraveler]

+Vieux Chinois You should go straight to Aquas Calientes that day that day.

[@macded78]

+Escape Traveler thanks was already there , sent one night in cusco then catch the train the following day

[@isakito1997]

is not crowded as other wonders and is far from the city :3

[@Surgicalsensei]

So I have to go from Lima to Cusco to Ollytaytambo and then stay there drop my luggage off, then next morning go to Aguas Calientes and then from there catch a bus to Machu Picchu?

[@Escapetraveler]

+DaZ316 Correct, if you plan to spend the night at Ollytaytambo. You can also go from Cusco to Aguas Calientes in the morning. However, both means you will miss the 6am sunrise at Machu Picchu, which is beautiful. Our suggestion is to spend the night at Aquas Calientes and go up to MP early

[@christina-ch9338]

Escape Traveler.... So when the train from. Ollantaytambo leaves? You say it's better to go from Lima to Cusco... Go sightseeing and the next day go straight to Agua Callientes and not stopping to Ollantaytambo... Spend the day there and leave early in the morning with a bus or taxi to MP? Is that a good plan?

[@BertoJr5]

Hello, May I ask you what time of the year did you go? I will be there from June 22 to July 7 of this year. It's my 30th bday present. I'm hoping to be IN Machu Picchu on my actual day bday. Thanks!

[@Escapetraveler]

BertoJr5 ....we were there in November

[@Drokk86]

Questions. how long is the ride from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo ? What's the cost for the ride ? are the trains really that much cheaper from Ollantaytambo than from Cuzco ?

[@Escapetraveler]

1 hr collective ride for 10 soles. it is about $15-25 cheaper, but you have more options on timing to choose from.

[@christina-ch9338]

Really only 10,soles?

[@jnprshweta]

Hi..how many days did the trip take you from Cusco? It seems like you did it in the round trip in 2 days.

[@Escapetraveler]

You need 4 days minimum to see and do what we did.

[@bobmangal5788]

what is the ticket price from Lima to Cuzco ?

[@Escapetraveler]

About $73-80 one way

[@Badfish42]

I bought mine for $87 round trip... try google.com/flights
