Though uninhabited, this historical Inca citadel is one of the true marvels of the world !! The magnificent, breathtaking, conglomeration of stone ruins, palaces, towers, temples, terraces, staircases and other remains, nestling in mountains, surrounded by beautiful vegetation, is an unforgettable lifetime experience-in itself worth the journey to Peru !! Machu Picchu can be reached by railroad, helicopter or by walking the Inca Trail. The entry point to reach Machu Picchu is Cuzco, connected to Lima by daily flights.
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu. It is a good choice for reasonably priced hotels as an alternative to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel actually on the Citadel. It is only about a mile away from the Puente Ruinas train station. From Aguas Calientes there are buses that will take you to the ruins.
