Everybody says it's better to go early, but don't if you would like to avoid long lines ! People line up for the bus since 4am, but at 8 lines are much shorter! It also goes for entrance and return bus

If you have the time and energy, climb Huayna Picchu to get a better view of MP. It's well worth the extra effort.

If you want a fairly easy but invigorating hike , do the Inka Bridge trail . The actual Inka Bridge requires holding onto a wire while crossing a narrow ledge, but the 15 min. hike features great views

Opt-in for the extra hike up to Montaña Machu Picchu . It's a burner of a hike (60-90mins) but well worth the view . Back a lunch if you're making the climb ! Also bring a banana for the llamas. Trust.

I was looking for a mystical lifetime trip to Peru and this trip went beyond my imagination! Still worth the hike ! One of the most breathtaking and mystical sites in the world.

One of the world wonders architecture . Amazing design and view . Worth all the walk, train & the way here. Make sure to visit it in the day season to have a good view of it.

Wait until they close to take the best photos and really enjoy the place. Most people leave early.

Layer up as the mornings/evenings are chilly and the midday sun, hot. Hike further up towards the Inca Bridge or Sun Gate or head downwards to the rubble ruins for more peace and quiet

How amazing this site could be? Breathtaking views , a lot of history and good long walks. Be prepare to spend more than 5 hours exploring the park . I recommend to stay at the Pueblo for 1 night.

Machu Picchu was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more

Where sunscreen and a large brimmed hat and bring a great camera ! Yes there is cell/data at the top - enjoy the ince in a lifetime views at 2500m altitude

Did a tour with Quechuas Expeditions. Started at KM 104 to Sun Gate & saw Machu. It was beautiful!!! Definitely listen to the history behind it. Amazing architecture and intelligent people.

The ticket office in Aguas Calientes opens at 5:20 AM, and the buses start leaving at 5:30 AM every 5 min. Travel pros buy our tickets the night before.

The scenery from the top is amazIng however try to do some of the ruins before you go up.The trek (access only till 11am) is very steep and exhausting so after coming down u only want to rest.

Without Guide 12pm: Go First down, make the whole round, then Exit (+bagno) you can go in again. Then do the top route to inka bridge , stay on top till U have to go out :)

Bring your passport to get a bitchin' Machu Picchu stamp in it on your way out. Also, plan for all weather types. It was warm and sunny when we arrived, and 3 hours later it was freezing and rainy.

Make sure you buy your entrance ticket in Aguas Calientes to enter the Machu Picchu City before going up the mountain .

Take an early bus up.. Head straight to the sun gate ! You will beat the hordes of people and the sun. You will be there for the best photos as the clouds rise up over the city across the way.

The Machu Picchu entrance ticket office takes only cash ...Peruvian Soles. There's an ATM at town center that will give out Soles and USD.

One of the best experiences of my life!!! Loved it and will recomend it.. if you are comming to Perú is a MUST do..

The Montaña Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu trails are challenging but worth every step.

Check out Machu Picchu at sunrise. There's long queues at 5:15 already, buy your bus pass and entrance ticket the day before to save time.

Climb the mountain Machu Picchu for only a little more money but be prepared, it's a steep climb up for about 2 hours and mainly stairs!

When visiting Machu Picchu, make sure to bring your original passport, it is requited at the check point where the name and passport number on the ticket will be matched with your passport info.

Arrive as early as possible to avoid the crowds. The inca trail trekkers will arrive at earliest around 8am, and by 10am it is busy. It is highly recommended to stay overnight as it is quiet from 4pm.

Get a round trip bus ride otherwise it's a loooonnnng way Up/Down.Best time to get there is 7am. Bring snacks/water, food is overpriced and only available in the entrance.

Those 2000 steps killed me! :) I didn't want to get a guide because i wanted to do the tour on my own, i got the virtual tour on iPad called Virtual History - Machu Picchu, it greatly did the job!

Apparently it takes days to get to this site to adjust to the altitude. Still worth the hike ! One of the most breathtaking and mystical sites in the world.

One of the eight wonders of the world, it is amazingly beautiful and it is one of the spiritual centers of the world. The views are lovely and you get amazing pictures. Best to go in the summer.

Not a bad hike ...wear layers as the weather is constantly changing! Prepare to walk for a few hours, and try to get a ticket to waynapichhu

The crowd is much much smaller in the afternoon. Great opportunity to take pics without tourists in them

The bus ticket office takes only cash ...either Peruvian Soles, U.S. dollars, or Euros. There's an ATM at town center that will give out Soles and USD.

It was one of the best experiences of my life, it was hard for me to get there, but it was worth it!

Nice little tourist town supporting Macchu Picchu. Be sure to get in line an hour before the first bus leaves to go up the mountain if you want to be the first to get there.

By 4:30 pm they start asking people to leave. By 3-3:30 pm they dont allow you to go towards the Sun Temple or the Inca Bridge anymore

Despite being very touristic , it is an enchanting place. Worth to reach it via trekking! Whether the inca trail , salkantay or the jungle trail .

Once in a lifetime.. Each humanbeing should see this exceptional place..

Come early. Hike to the top enjoy the view in the sunrise/early morning. It gets super hot in July... another reason to come early.

Try to get up really early in the morning and take the first bus to watch sun rise over there! Even take a deep breath and trek to Waynapichu to stare at Machu Picchu from the other side.

If you choose to do the short Inca Trail 2 Days/1Night, you are going to walk up along 6 hours with impressive landscapes, where after 4 hours you will arrive to wiñaywayna archeological site, Read more

Awesome place! Full of energy and mysticism. If you're into breathtaking landscapes, this is for you!!!

Llama paradise. They practically own the place, especially when there's not that many tourists around

Simply amazing despite the crowds. Can be foggy in low season!

Incredible view , astonishing how this place even exists!

Arrive early, be ready for some uphill climbs and plan to spend the day. It is beautiful

Climb up Huayna Picchu , the peak overlooking the ruins. Only 400 people can go up each day and tickets are gone by lunch , so sign up early!

No words can describe this beautiful site. A must go.

Beautiful but ridiculously touristy . Mornings are crowded , so afternoon visit would avoid the rush. No decent restaurant in town - everything is overpriced. Still worth a visit though.
