Lima: Travel around the Historical Ruins of Machu Picchu

Macho Picchu is the historic site ancient Inca City, located high in the Andes of Peru. The site is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage site and often referred as The Lost city of Incas. Macho Picchu is considered one of the finest symbol of Incan Empire and famous ruin in the world. If you are intending to visit Peru, then a visit to Machu Picchu would be must, complete your journey to this expensive and crowded city.

To get around the ruins of Machu Picchu, one must have some advance planning because of its location which is fairly remote and unapproachable. Machu Picchu is not accessible by mountains, but a proper plan is required to reach there. It needs a considerable amount of time to arrive there as firstly, you to approach Lima, the capital city of Peru by the airport. After arriving Lima, you have to come to Cusco, another city of Peru. After Cusco, you will have to travel 3 hours journey by train for Aguas Calientes which is a small town near Machu Picchu. Finally, another 20 minutes will be required by bus to reach the final destination, the stunning Machu Picchu.

Distance from different cities to Machu Picchu can be varied, but it is certain that if you are coming from outside the Peru, you first have to land at Lima where the only international airport of Peru exists. There are majorly 4 domestic flights, operating in Peru between Lima and Cusco. Therefore, you can choose flights flexible with better and reliable services to reach Machu Picchu. Among all these flights, LanPeru is the most comfortable and reliable one due to its services though it is a little bit expensive. Aero Condor is another flight to reach Machu Picchu but it is relatively cheap and budget friendly for travelers. Moreover, it is advisable to search online about all these flights prior to reaching Machu Picchu.

Bus service is also available between Peru and Cusco to approach Machu Picchu. Ormeneo and Cruz del Sur are some of the few companies which are running bus services between these cities. Bus service is far cheaper than air traveling but within buses, there are imperial bus services are available which cost you high. Ticket of Imperial Bus service will cost you $57 than regular bus service, but it will give the true pleasure of luxurious traveling. Book online for Lima airport transfers for affordable transportation.
Well, this is all about Machu Picchu and its transport modes which can be used to approach here but again I will strongly recommend to go online and take complete details about Peru and its traveling modes for a complacent journey.
