What is the fastest way to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu? The fastest way is to take a train from Ollantaytambo train station to Aguas Calientes, then a short bus ride up to Machu Picchu. This option usually takes around 4 to 5 hours in total, depending on the departure point.
Picchu, located about 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above mean sea level, over 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) lower than Cusco, which has an elevation of 3,400 meters (11,200 ft). As such, it had a milder climate.
What you should not do on your trip to CuscoIn Cusco, don’t ignore altitude sickness (rest, hydrate, coca tea), drink tap water, or take unmarked taxis; avoid displaying valuables, walking alone at night in quiet areas, and over-scheduling your first day, while also being wary of common scams and haggling for prices in markets and taxis. It’s best to acclimatize slowly and enjoy the city beyond just being a gateway to Machu Picchu.
