How to play Machu Picchu in Peru?

The site of Machu Picchu, Peru, is a mysterious historical relic of human beings and an area where Inca civilization once lived. It has preserved a series of ancient buildings and relics and become a very popular tourist destination. Here's a detailed tour guide.

MachuPicchu is a very important cultural and historical tourist attraction in Peru. In fact, there are many strategies for going to major websites. I emphasize that one important thing happened to me here, and then I will talk nonsense, but I want to elaborate, so some people will feel bored, but I hope you will continue reading it slowly.

Let's talk about Machu Picchu's personal feelings: it's magnificent from a distance. After entering the scenic spot, you must pass a big platform, where there are many good photo spots. In addition, there will be some alpacas raised in the park, such as BTW Cuzco and Ouyantai, where local Andean people can cook alpaca meat, which is more delicious than beef.

When you walk into this ancient relic, you will find that it is reasonable to pile up rooms and halls with square stones, but after all, it is not as spectacular as it is seen in the distance. After all, there is the Warner Bhikkhu Mountain in the distance and the Ulubamba River below. The best tourist route for Machu Picchu

Cuzco-Pisac Inca Ruins-Yantian-Ouyantai-Hot Water Town

It takes 1.5 hours to get to Hot Water Town by mountain train at Ouyantai. It's more important here. When I go there, there's usually nothing wrong. The problem this time is returning. The ticket I booked is from Hot Water Town. I have to go through Hot Water Town in front of Machu Picchu before I can buy tickets and tickets to go up the mountain and then come back.

Ok, let's talk about the important thing here. It seems that the return ticket from February every year goes directly to Cuzco without Hot Water Town, but when I bought the ticket in official website, it was shown to Cuzco, and later I only went to Ouyantai.

When I went to the station to find the staff, an aunt in Boston also encountered such a problem. Later, many people came to ask, too. There was a bus with the group, and it was useless for the free travellers to buy tickets for Cusco. The terminal was at Ouyantai.

Then the question is how to get back to Cuzco at Ouyantai, as everyone thinks: taxis, chartered cars, carpooling, etc. don't exist, or almost never appear.

The best solution is to stay for one night, and find a big car or go back by bus the next day, but I usually come back from Machu Picchu at the earliest in the afternoon and at noon. What's more, the problem is that the night road back to Cuzco at Ouyantai is very dangerous. First, the mountain road, second, when passing through the countryside, the villagers will come out to set up obstacles and blackmail, which is what I encountered. Of course, the villagers are not only targeting tourists.

In short, if you want to go to Machu Picchu, you'd better skip February, or send an email to ask if the return train will end in Cuzco before buying a train ticket. This is very important and everyone must remember. Machu Picchu Introduction

Machu Picchu is known as the "lost city" of the Inca Empire, and it is located on the steep and narrow ridge between the most inaccessible peak of old age and the peak of youth in the Andes, with an altitude of 2,4 meters. In Inca, Machu Picchu stands for "ancient mountain top".

Machu Picchu is 12km away from Cuzco, the then capital. Hundreds of years ago, there was only a narrow Inca trail between the mountains connecting Machu Picchu and Cuzco. Nowadays, when tourists arrive here by tourist train, they will feel a strong shock-Machu Picchu in front of them seems to slide down the abyss from the narrow ridge at any time, and it is on this steep and uninhabited ridge that the Incas built their own city.

Machu Picchu has more than 17 buildings, 6 terraces, thousands of steps, several temples and 16 fountains. It is really a miracle. It was declared as a historical reserve in Peru in 1981 and listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1983. How to play Machu Picchu

Hiking Machu Picchu

Hiking will start in the city of Cuzco (with sufficient equipment and materials), and the range and route of hiking will probably surround the whole area around Machu Picchu, and then explore various famous scenic spots or landscapes such as ancient Inca quarry, Huamanmarca, Humandi Lake

(L, D) and Dalares town. Start your journey from Cuzco-via AGUASCALIENTES(B, L) or Shenggu or Aguas Calientes (P > Calientes) and SantaRosa Town, etc. to reach and go deep into various scenic spots. Here are three popular hiking routes for reference.

Machu Picchu Hiking-The hardest part of the ancient road tour, you arrive at Hot Water Town, then walk for three hours to the first Cinderella pass, Warmiwanusca (42m above sea level), and reach the top of the ancient Inca road. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of the whole area (magnificent mountains and glaciers). After lunch, walk down to Pacemayo's camp.

Machu Picchu trekked in Pacemayo Camp

Cuzco started hiking to the ruins of Runkurakay ancient Inca culture. Go on to Sayaymarca ancient ruins, visit and have lunch here. It is noted that the natural landscape and vegetation around here have changed, from the alpine zone with sparse vegetation to the subtropical forest. Next, we passed another important ancient relic building, Puyapatanarka, and finally reached the destination of today's camp Vi Nevina on foot.

Camp Vi Nevina

Set off at Ollantaytambo early and arrive at the gate to Machu Picchu (the sun gate) to watch the most spectacular sunrise in the world. In front of you, there are mountains on one side, canyons more than 4, meters deep on the other, snow-capped mountains on the head, and tropical rainforests on the lower head. Watching Machu Picchu's ancient ruins wake up in the golden morning light. Press the shutter as much as you like to leave a good memory.

Regular group tour of Machu Picchu

Regular one-day tour or multi-day tour of Machu Picchu are well-equipped products. From the hotel where you stayed in Cuzco, you will be transferred to the railway station (it will help you buy a train without spending time landing in official website to buy tickets), and then you will arrive at Machu Picchu. There will be a guide to explain the itinerary along the way, and then you will be accompanied back to the hotel along the way. The only drawback is that there is no Chinese service (if friends who can't speak English at all are not recommended to participate), and the greatest pleasure is that they can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way with tourists from all over the world and talk about oral training at home (there are many beautiful women and handsome men, and most of them are alone), so if you plan a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru, you will fly to Cuzco as the first stop in Lima, and most of the casual teams will travel in this city.

Archaeological adventure tourism

Machu Picchu is not only hiking &; Conventional tourism also has a field trip similar to archaeological movies. If you are interested in archaeology, you can consider such a field archaeological adventure trip. This trip is spectacular but also challenging-hiking in the steep Aprimak Canyon and exploring the archaeological site of Choquequirao, and then arriving in Aguacaliantes to explore Machu Picchu in an all-round way.

You can also drive from Cuzco to Machu Picchu. From there, it takes three hours to walk to AguasCalientes, and then to Machu

Picchu. Many tour companies in Cuzco offer this route as a one-day or two-day trip by private car. How to get to Machu Picchu?

It's fun to explore the route to Machu Picchu. Because when you go to Machu Picchu, you should first stay in the city of Cuzco, and there are two routes to start from Cuzco. The most popular route is to start from Cuzco, then take the train to Aguascalientes, and then take the bus for the last 8 kilometers to reach Machu Picchu.

several times a day (depending on the season and demand), the train takes a three-hour drive from EstaciónSanPedro in Cuzco to Aguas

Calientes (in Urubamba). Some trains are express trains, while others stop at the route several times. The local train may take up to five hours to travel.

If you choose the express train, you will have more time to arrange hiking, which is one of the most beautiful hiking routes in the world. If you want to hike, you should plan to trek 33 kilometers in three or four days (>

2 miles) because of the high altitude and steep paths. Others visited Machu Picchu, Lima and Sacred Valley on land tours including Cusco time.

which trains go to machu picchu? What's the attraction of trains?

At present, there are two railway companies operating trains from Cuzco to Machu Picchu Railway Station: Peru Railway and Inca Railway (the third Machu Picchu train was merged with the Inca Railway in early 213). Then the whole train car is decorated with skylight, and the windows on the seats are panoramic, which is a unique style in scenic spots all over the world and has a different experience than the coastal trains in Sri Lanka. The service on the train can be called the A38 flight attendant service level on land, and all kinds of meals, fruits and snacks are available. If Machu Picchu is the main course of the journey, it is a delicious appetizer to take a ride to Machu Picchu. The following is a brief introduction to the railway routes and conditions for the reference of friends who come to Peru for the first time.

Peru Railway

Cuzco to Machu Picchu (three to four hours): from Poroy Station, about 2 minutes from downtown Cuzco.

(Note: From January 2 to April 3, 216, the Vistadome and Expedition train services from Machu Picchu Railway Station will start from Pacha Station, which is an hour and 5 minutes drive from downtown Cuzco. Transportation from Cuzco to Pachar Station is not included in the temporary fare listed on the Peruvian Railway website. )

Urubamba to Machu Picchu (three hours): From Urubamba Station. From Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu (one and a half hours): Leave from Ollantaytambo, about half the distance from Poroy (Cuzco).

PeruRailway also provides three different types of trains along the Machu Picchu line (the fourth type, but only subsidizes residents)-if you happen to have a foreigner's identity card, it is a good choice):

Hiram Bingham: Hiram Bingham train -

named after the person who rediscovered Machu Picchu-is a luxury choice of Peru Rail, but it is not cheap. It is estimated that the one-way payment from Poroy to Machu Picchu will exceed $3.

vista dome: vista dome provides a cheaper option for luxurious Hiram

Bingham. This is the mid-range option of the Peruvian railway: comfort, air conditioning, and panoramic windows.

Expedition: Expedition is a low-budget option for Peruvian railways, if you just want to go to Machu Picchu. There is not much difference between Expedition and the slightly expensive Vistadome.

Inca Railway

The Inca Railway runs from Ollantaytambo to AguasCalientes and then to Machu

Picchu Station (some Urubamba buses can be determined according to the train level). There are three trains on the Inca Railway: the economy class Machu Picchu train; The

economy-classmachupicchutrain of Inca; And a first-class train (the executive-and-first-class inca

train; ); And the "Presidential" service of the Inca.

machu picchu train (economy): it departs from Ollantaytambo to machu picchu every day, and Inca train (executive/first class): it departs from Ollantaytambo to machu picchu four times a day, which is a more comfortable choice. One-way executive class tickets are currently the same as Machu Picchu train tickets. The first class service is only available in the peak season, from April 1st to October 31st and from December 21st to 31st.

President: The luxury presidential service can be transported at the Inca Princess, and it also runs between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu Station. Need to book in advance;

the price changes according to the exact schedule. Tickets include a bottle of welcome champagne, a five-course tasting menu and an open bar.

tips:

The so-called Cuzco Railway Station is actually in the nearby town of Polay. Take a taxi from Cuzco Central to the railway station, remember to give more time (at least one hour). The roads in Cuzco are small and often maintained, and traffic jams occur. When is a good time to leave for Machu Picchu?

May to September is the peak season, when the weather is dry. This is also the time with the largest number of visitors. October or November to March or April is the off-season, because most of this season is in the rainy season, accompanied by low temperature weather, so the number of tourists is not large.
