If you are into adventure and looking for a more exciting and economical way to get to Machu Picchu, the route from Cusco to Hidroeléctrica is perfect for you. This journey combines the best of the Andean landscapes with a nature hike that will take you directly to Aguas Calientes, the access point to the Inca citadel.
The trip begins with a bus ride through the Abra Málaga, one of the highest and most spectacular mountain passes in the Andes.
