How to Get to Machu Picchu by Train, Bus, or Air

If you'd rather not go by foot, consider taking the train to get to Macchu Picchu. The train departs from the nearby town of Cuzco and takes about four hours. The bus offers another alternative, but without the same degree of breathtaking scenery as the train. Finally, helicopter rides are available for privileged visitors who don't have the luxury of time.
