With the right information, getting to Machu Picchu shouldn't be as much a mystery as the place itself. There are hundreds of tour companies in Cuzco and Lima queuing up to sell you a space on their tours to Machu Picchu, as well as specialist (and not so specialist) international tour operators. Most local operators offer a simple one day excursion from Cuzco to Machu Picchu including all transport and a professional guide (check to see if the guide speaks good English). You'll have to take a train from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes (the nearest town to Machu Picchu) since this is the only form of transport. From Aguas Calientes you take a 20 minute bus ride up to the ruins.
There are plenty of restaurants and hotels in the town (Aguas Calientes ) and its main attraction are the thermal springs which gives Aguas (waters) Calientes (hot) its name.

Decide what's most important to you, good weather or fewer people, and go in the dry/wet season accordingly. If you're planning on walking the trail, shop around in Cuzco for tour providers as the prices do vary. However, don't take any indications of maximum group numbers at face value - when I went the tourists from different agents got pooled together so one minute you're with a group of 4, next it's a combined group of 24. Finally, if you do the trail, don't drink too much the night before you get to Machu Picchu!

I would really recommend doing the trek from KM88. From Cuzco (the ancient Inca capital of Peru) many tour groups run either bus day trips or walking treks. The walking treks can take anytheing from 3-6 days depending on where you start. KM88 is a point on the railway line where many of these treks start. If you are short of time take the train from Cuzco.
The trek is exceptional but make sure that adjust to the altitude and are fit as some of the passess are around 13,000 ft.
