...quickest and easiest way is, as you would expect, to follow the crowd. Most of Machu Picchu's 2,500 daily visitors arrive by a four-hour train ride from Cuzco that ends at the small town of Aguas Calientes. From there, a 20-minute bus journey transports them up to the famous ruins. 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 plunge into the jungle, camp for three nights along the way and reach altitudes...
