Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail

The Inca Trail does not lead to Cuzco; it leads to Machu Picchu. The 'classic' 55–mile route starts at Ollantaytambo, a town and Inca archaeological site in the valley of the Urubamba River, some 45 miles (72 km) by road to the north–west of Cuzco.

Once you've reached Machu Picchu, you can get a bus down to the modern town of Agua Calientes. From there you can get a train back to Cuzco.

At least, that's what we did.
