       Did you know that there is more than one way to arrive at Machu Picchu, a World Heritage Site? We have found an easy way, a hard way, and something in between. 13 Therefore, you should consider the options carefully before you embark on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

      The quickest and easiest way is to follow the crowd. Most of Machu Picchu’s visitors arrive from Cuzco by a four-hour train ride that ends at a small town. 14 The hard way, on the other hand, involves joining a guided trek of the Inca Trail. From a starting point that lies 88 km by train from Cuzco, you camp for three nights in the jungle and walk to the mountaintop marvel.

       15 For this, guides are also necessary. You begin by taking the 6:15 a.m. train from Cuzco station and get off at a station 104 km down the line. Then, you are in for a roughly six-hour rainforest trek. Your first sight of Machu Picchu comes after you have passed the final checkpoint and its near-vertical flight of 50 stone steps. 16 This is where the descent into the ancient city begins—and, with luck, you will have arrived shortly before the last tourist bus departs (at 5:30 p.m.). Then, you can have this place to yourself in conditions of near silence.
