Hi Ankit, yes, Huayna Picchu is accessed from within Machu Picchu. In fact you need to walk through a good part of the Citadel to get to the start point of the Huayna Picchu hike. All the best!

If I have bought the 10am huayna picchu permits, will I also be able to go see Machu picchu as well the same day? I travel by Peru rail and get to the area at 9am.

Amazing website and super helpful

Thanks,
Ankit

Hi Jane, yes, going immediately to Ollantaytambo is not a bad idea as it’s about 1000m below Cusco. You can meet up with your sons in Aguas Calientes. There is a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. You can then return together by train to Cusco. All the best!

My husband and I will be taking the train. We are thinking to go to Ollay immediately after we arrive in Cusco. Is this a good idea? How and when will we meet up and how do we return to Cusco together? Thank you.

Hi Elaine, yes you can get a train from Ollantaytambo to Hydroelectrica and then walk to Aguas Calientes. The walk is about 1-2 hours, depending on how fast you go. Just follow the rail tracks. All the best!

Hi Charlotte, the train goes to Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu. From here you can hike up to Machu Picchu or get a bus. Train ticket prices may have changed, I recommend checking our Peru Rail or Inca Rail for updated prices. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for this helpful information. I had a question regarding the trains. We will be staying in Cusco. Does the Peru Rail train (from Cusco) go all the way to Machu Picchu, or does it only go to Aguas Calientes where we will need to take the bus? Also is the $65-75 train price round-trip or one-way? Thanks for your help!
