Travel Information
You will reach the town of Aguas Calientes only by train. From there you can walk a trail that will take you 40-60 minutes, depending on your walking speed. You should buy tickets beforehand, otherwise you won't get up there. Alternatively, there is a bus to the gates of the city, which takes about 20 minutes. Again, book your tickets early.
