Machu Picchu Bus Tour - 2 Day Tour by bus to Machu Picchu

If you are looking for the cheapest option to visit Machu Picchu, then Machu Picchu Bus Tour from Cusco the best option. Our 2 Day Tour by bus to Machu Picchu includes all the essentials to make your experience hassle free.

Aguas Calientes serves as a gateway to the Incan citadel. It has no direct road access from Cusco. Hence, we drive you along the Sacred Valley of Incas to Hidro Electrica. This is the last village on the road from Cusco to Machu Picchu.

From here, it is a two and a half hours walk along the train tracks to the town of Aguas Calientes. This is the same route that Hiram Bingham III took when he rediscovered Machu Picchu.

The way you will be hiking is very scenic and offers spectacular views of the tropical region. If you are not sure of hiking, you can also take a train from Hidro Electrica Train Station to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). Both Peru Rail and Inca Rail operate on this route and cost 40 USD per person, one way.
