Machu Picchu in Cusco — FAQ
How do you get to Machu Picchu from Cusco?
Most visitors take a train from Cusco (via Ollantaytambo) to Aguas Calientes, then a short bus up to the citadel. The full trip is a long day, so many choose a 2-day tour with an overnight in Aguas Calientes.
Do you need to book Machu Picchu tickets in advance?
Yes — entry to Machu Picchu is by timed ticket with a daily limit, and it sells out weeks ahead in high season, so book your ticket and train early.
Can you visit Machu Picchu as a day trip from Cusco?
Yes — a full-day trip by train is possible and popular, leaving very early and returning late; a 2-day tour is more relaxed and allows a sunrise visit.
