If I were to camp, would I be able to leave my things at the camp site while at Machu Picchu or are there lockers in Aguas Calientes?

I took busses overnight and then walked along the train tracks. It was an amazing experience walking through the valley and we saw some really unique birdlife too. I wrote up how to do it here

I definitely recommend avoiding the tour companies.

Is better to go to Machu Picchu walking, following the Inca Trail is an extraordinary experience.

Hi Sarah. I don’t have the name of the company, but names can be deceiving. Like I say in the article, their office was halfway up the hill to San Blas, on the right-hand side, just before Casa San Blas. And I do believe they could hook you up with transport only–any company should do that, actually. Just be insistent on what you want.

Good luck!

How can I contact the same travel agent that you got your &115 Machu Picchu tour from? My problem is that I already have my hotel accounted for and only need the tour and I am finding that all of the tours include hotels already. This $115 option may be the best option for me too. Thanks

We are scheduled to stay in Cusco 1 April – 5 April. We have already purchased Backpacker Peru Rail tickets for 4 April from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Do you have any advice for us? Will the train be running by 4 April? In order to get to Machu Picchu, should we not spend so many nights (4) in Cusco, but rather break up the trip, and spend some nights closer to Machu Picchu?
