Machu Picchu: Do you have to hike all the way?

I'm going to Machu Picchu in April, and I want to know if you have to hike to get there. I know there is a train, but does the train take you within a reasonable distance of the actual site? Or do you have to take a trail to get to the site?

From Cuzco to Aguas Calientes you can go by train (about 3 hours trip). Once u are in Aguas Calientes u can take a bus (about 20 min) or hike (actually not hike but walk up a road and some stairs) about 40 min. Then you are in Machupichu where you have walk around the walls, ruins, rooms, stairs, etc.
If you want, you can hike the Waynapichu mountain (next to Machucpichu) but u have to check if it is opened because after some "incidents" it is used to be closed.

According to article below, there are two approaches. One is a 4 day hike and the other is a 2 day hike.

No. You can take the train. Actually, to get a permit to hike you need to apply a year in advance and it is expensive. The train leaves from Cuzco and goes to Aguas Calientes (hot waters). From there you take the bus or you can hike from Aguas Calientes--about an hour and half or so.

well, you take the train from Cusco or from Ollantaytambo (this last one means you got there by car), then you leave the train in Aguas Calientes and you take a bus to the ruins (the bus will leave you less than half mile away).
Also you can make the hike, two, three or four days long and they go from Ollantaytambo

No, I'm pretty sure they have the whole mountain paved so obese Americans don't have to get out of their Chevys.

Yes that was sarcasm. Yes, you do have to hike.
