There are only two ways to get to Machu Picchu because of its remote location in Peru's mountainous cloud forest. The first and most common method is to take a train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes (also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo) at the mountain's base. Then you can take a bus or walk the rest of the way up. The second option is to hike the Inca Trail.
