Machu Picchu Jun 26, 2008
Oh WOW!!!!! Going to Machu Picchu was something really amazing....i feel like it was a spiritual experience. This place should be on everyones list of places to go in the world. i would most definitely go back there! We took the Hiram Bingham train up from Cuzco, great way to go, unless you want to do the Inca trail...but that is a 4 day hike...im not down with that personally. but the train was lovely. we stayed at the Inca Terra resort, on the pricey side... but gorgeous! great trip, loved every minute, so historic.

Do you mean on Christmas Day? or Christmas time? They close it on Christmas day. You can stay at Aguas Calientes for the night and hike up to MP, but they closed the gates, but there are other hill around so you don't necessary have to spend Christmas at the citadel.

I don't, I actually did the Inca Trail hike, but the office is South East of the Plaza, about five blocks.
Ticket is about $70-$100 and you get a discount if you are a student. The ride takes about 4 hrs.

Great! Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to find the company that you reserve tickets through. Would you happen to know their name or website?

Definitely, stay in Cusco, but make sure you get the tickets in advance. Also, since people in Peru are predominantly Catholics, a lot of business are going to be closed the 24, 25 and 26.

In order to get here, you have to take a four hour train that leaves from Cuzco. My friends and I took the 6am train. Then you have to take a bus that takes you all the way up there, it only takes about 15 minutes. Once you get there, you will be impressed with what you see up there, the Great Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu.
