What modes of transportation can one take to get to Machu Picchu from hotels in Lima, Peru (other than car)? ?

My mother and I are going to Lima, Peru this November and would like to find a way to get to Machu Picchu without having to rent a car (we're only there for 5 days) perhaps a bus or train from a hotel would be available? If anybody knows from personal experience if there is anyway to get there without renting, please respond. Thank You ( ;

You pretty much have to fly to Cuzco, unless you want to spend 2 of your vacation days on the road. LAN and TACA both have frequent flights (LAN has a much better reputation). I got my flight from the Peruvian website Apunake, which was a LOT cheaper than a U.S. site, but to use it, you need a Visa card that participates in the Verified by Visa program (you can register your card on Visa's website or call the number on your card).

From Cuzco you can book an MP tour, or spend the night in the town of Aguas Calientes (aka Machu Picchu), where you can simply take a bus up to MP early in the morning, before all the tourists arrive on the train (i think the first train arrives around 10am?).

Hi

I recommend you take a flight from LIma to Cusco and then you take the train from Cusco to Machu Picchu. It is about an hour flight.

You could take a bus to cusco but that will take 12 or more hours.
