Machu Picchu: Eco-Bus from Aguas Calientes

There were no buses when Hiram Bingham III trekked to Machu Picchu and brought it to the attention of the wider world. If you're not disposed to make the 90-minute climb from Aguas Calientes to Peru's iconic Inca citadel, fear not. There's a quicker way up. * Book your bus trip from the base of the mountain, and you'll be dropped at the entrance to Machu Picchu with all the energy you need to explore. Choose a one-way ticket and hike down, or opt for the return journey!
