How to get to Machu Picchu?

There is no doubt that Machu Picchu is a mandatory stop on your trip to Peru, because not every day you are lucky enough to visit one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World.

Now, getting to Machu Picchu is an adventure in itself, so we recommend you dust off your trekking shoes and pack your favorite waterproof jacket, as you will find a path full of incredible landscapes and architectural works in an environment that will take your breath away due its beauty.

If you come from abroad, the first thing you have to know is that Machu Picchu is located in the Department of Cusco, which is an hour and twenty minutes away by plane from Lima, the capital of the country.

Once you are in Cusco, the true journey to the Inca Citadel begins, which you can take advantage of depending on the time you have available for your trip.
