How To Get To Machu Picchu
[Music]
drink while we do this so you're trying
to get to Machu Picchu but chances are
you're probably coming from somewhere in
there getting to Machu Picchu can be
quite a long process and somewhat
overwhelming when it comes to research
so that's why we're gonna give you
everything you need to know to plan your
troubles but before we get any further I
just want to say that this video is not
for anyone who's hiking the Inca Trail
that's a completely different thing this
video is for people that need to plan
their transportation from start to
finish okay let's get started
chances are you are going to be flying
at Lima the most common domestic
airlines are star Peru lifts ham Avianca
Caribbean Airlines just to name a few
there are more than 40 flights from Lima
to Cusco per day and it actually only
takes about an hour and 20 minutes to
get between the two cities which is not
bad at all keep in mind that the
elevation in Cusco is eleven thousand
two hundred feet which is thirty four
hundred meters high the air is very thin
and it can be much harder to breathe for
some people like myself I actually did
get altitude sickness but none of the
three people I was with it doesn't make
any sense it's good to give yourself a
day in Cusco to acclimate to higher
altitude prior and heading to Machu
Picchu which is actually at a lower
altitude than Cusco see if Cusco machu
cuzco of Machu so it's better to get
acclimated here because then buys when
we get here you're good to go from Cusco
you can hire a bus which is actually a
lot cheaper than taking Peru rail
station
here we go - oh yard on Dumbo they call
these busses collect people's expect the
ride to take about two hours you can
catch these buses on Avenue - growl
which is about a 15 minute walk from
cusco main square plaza de armas it's a
little more laid-back with these buses
there isn't really a schedule you just
kind of wait for them to fill up and the
buses are surprisingly easy to find
we actually stumbled across ours while
we were walking toward Albany - growl so
we didn't even end up walking the whole
way there it ends up costing about Gore
u.s. dollars per person and Peru rail
can start anywhere from 51 to 121 US
dollars depending on class time
direction station and time of year we
are off to orient on tombow all right
now we're in Owenton Tommo which is the
town where you'll be catching the inca
rail or the peru rail to aguas calientes
it's actually super small and walkable
town so it won't take very long to see
if you want to hike the ruins to give
yourself a little more time obviously
once you get to the train station you'll
either take the inca rail or the peru
rail to your last and final destination
augo's calientes the tickets for economy
start at 61 to 65 u.s. dollars and you
could purchase them directly through the
website the train takes less than two
hours and they generally operate from
5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. the fastest way
to get from Cusco to Anton tombow is by
taxi and it costs around 30 US dollars
depending on your negotiation skills
it's good if you have a great but the
cheapest option is still ultimately I
collect people I should also know that
with Peru and Inca rail you can go
directly from 20 minutes outside of
Cusco to aguas calientes without having
to go to a on time Tombo first the train
station outside of cusco is called voto
I just keep in mind that it's often
better to go from wonton tombow because
there are more train options as far as
time and in the rainy season
trains often can't make it to parole you
should definitely book in advance and
I'm putting the links in the dooblydoo
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]

beautiful
so all those travels we did during the
day and then we ended up staying in
aguas calientes which is totally
optional our entire reason for staying
overnight was so that we could get a
head start toward machu picchu in the
morning before the crowds arrived and
also so that we can make it to our 10:00
a.m. my nappy - appointment which we'll
discuss in a second you technically can
do everything that we've discussed on
the same day but you're gonna be getting
up really early that day we woke up at
like 7:00 a.m. to do ours
yeah and that was sleeping in couple of
tips what if you do end up staying in
aguas calientes and you get a hotel do
some research we didn't have any hot
water also we were told that this town
was mostly cash only but we definitely
were able to use credit cards at many
restaurants and shops and you can do
your laundry there too another plus
there's so many laundromats there ooh I
would recommend eating at the treehouse
yeah my house was also that was so good
really good food good cocktails I'm
gonna leave the link right there at the
bottom alright just when you think you
finished all your travels there's
another bus to catch you'll need to
catch a shuttle bus which takes you up
to Machu Picchu in about 40 minutes
tickets can be purchased once you arrive
in aguas caliente just over the bridge
once you get off the train from Boyan
TomTom oh I know it sounds kind of a
trust me but it's a really small town
and you can't miss it
the bus company is called conscious
daughter and it costs twenty four US
dollars roundtrip
oh the buses run from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00
p.m.
keep in mind you also have the option to
hike all the way up to machu picchu from
aguas caliente but that's gonna take a
couple hours a lot of people do it we
thought about doing it and you see them
walking it yeah on the bus yeah that's
cool I mean I recommend it if you if you
have the time I want to do it we were
just kind of anxious to get there machu
picchu opens at 6:00 a.m. every day and
the last entry is at 5:00 p.m. they do
limit the number of tickets sold per day
you can see how many tickets are left
when you book on the website tickets for
foreigners are 47 US dollars for just
Machu Picchu itself and after 1:00 p.m.
you can get the half-day ticket for 31
US dollars you can and should buy these
tickets online and of course again the
link is provided below okay now we're
gonna talk about why do Picchu which is
the mountain above Machu Picchu so only
400 people are allowed per day 200
people per timeslot you have a 7 a.m.
time slot you have a 10:00 a.m. time
slot we did the 10:00 a.m. because we
thought we were gonna see like clouds
and stuff Wow the morning fog and we
were right we dodged it tickets from
Machu Picchu and wine if you choose to
do both of them together comes to 62 US
dollars
we highly stressed cooking these in
advance they sell out again websites
links below also it is somewhat of an
intense hike not just because of the
terrain but also because of the altitude
so we highly advise being in good shape
nope she gets harder and harder the
steps are like you know half the size of
your foot lips kind of just kind of go
off you're going up about this steep of
a terrain
oh and we're bucks I don't know why but
for some reason at the top of this
mountain there are ton of mosquitoes I
never would have thought to put on bug
spray and when we got from the top I got
eaten alive just be prepared okay
the moment we've all been waiting for we
are now here at Machu Picchu reporting
live there is seriously so much to
explore you can easily spend the entire
day there with no problem but before you
do that here are some helpful tips about
machu itself that you should know about
before you go we go ten number one this
one's a bit obvious but just make sure
you have your passport on there like
literally everything that we've talked
about just now that is the main form of
ID is your passport some places take it
some places don't so just like have it
on you and you can stamp a little macho
stamp on yours they have that up there
yeah it's a mic yes number two as a July
2017 you can no longer enter Machu
Picchu by yourself you have to enter
with a guy and pay llama I think of the
tour guide do you tell me a little bit
about what we're looking at here I'm no
three also as of July 2017 re-entry is
not allowed before you could go back in
and out now you can't there is no
bathroom inside though so if you do need
to go potty you just go outside and
they'll let you back in until they
figure
yes Lee number Oh eat before you go in
once you go in there's not really any
clue
so I recommend eating because you're
gonna be hiking and right where the bus
picks you up to go up but there's
actually a cute little coffee shop you
can get coffee and there's beer
survey says there's wine and you can get
nice little wraps and snacks we just put
them in our bag know that you can put
that into your videos where I'm supposed
to bring it which brings us to number
five no food or drinks look at that but
like no food water we didn't say that
sorry
government we said no food or drink nope
number six drones are not allowed over
700 umbrellas no tripods and no musical
instruments number 8 no high heels what
I can't bring my heels this is a hike
leave the high heels in your room I'm
burned 9 no smoking
this includes each cigarettes number 10
as tempting as it is to get the butt
cheeks out for an epic photo it's just
not allowed I don't stand up there like
so that was a lot of information but now
you have all the tools and knowledge to
go out there and go check it out for
yourself all the links you need will be

favorite part of much of you - going up
