This road tests the skill and courage of any driver. It is definitely not for anyone who suffers from vertigo or fear of landslides. Only the suicidal, the insane or those who pay to do this should decrease. It connects the small towns of Santa Mar\u00eda and Santa Teresa, near the <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/machu-picchu\/\">ruins of Machu Picchu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road surface is gravel. There is little room for error\non this path. Your wheels will be in awe of the wonderful views of the\nmountains that stretch out before you! They are terrible for drivers prone to\nvertigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/4-6.jpg\" alt=\"santa maria\" class=\"wp-image-936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/4-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/4-6-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/4-6-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Santa maria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"5721\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/inca-jungle-trek-machu-picchu.jpg\" alt=\"Inca Jungle\" class=\"wp-image-5721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/inca-jungle-trek-machu-picchu.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/inca-jungle-trek-machu-picchu-768x279.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Inca Jungle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">INCA JUNGLE TOUR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In many places, the road is lined with a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by railings over the <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/urubamba-peru\/\">Urubamba<\/a> River.

These hiking trails reach the Inca city through Aguas Calientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there is another alternative route that goes through the town of Santa Mar\u00eda in Peru. This long route leads to Machu Picchu through Aguas Calientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-76c16899-b2bf-4230-960d-a98730e787bd\" href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/pt-br\/pacotes-peru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span><strong>I book my Inca Jungle now!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-route-to-machu-picchu-through-santa-mar-a-in-cusco-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Route_to_Machu_Picchu_through_Santa_Maria_in_Cusco_Peru\"><\/span>Route to Machu Picchu through <strong>Santa Mar\u00eda in Cusco Per\u00fa<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative route through <strong>Santa Mar\u00eda in Cusco Per\u00fa<\/strong> lasts approximately 9 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip begins in the city of Cusco. There you board the\nbuses that will take you in 5 hours to the town of Santa Mar\u00eda, in the jungle\nof Cusco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of the bus trip is 25 or 30 Peruvian soles (8 or 10\nUS dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buses from Cusco to <strong>Santa\nMar\u00eda in Cusco Per\u00fa<\/strong> do not leave from the Cusco land terminal but from a\nsmall terminal located on Antonio Lorena Street, near the Historic Center of\nthe city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are in Santa Mar\u00eda in Cusco Peru, you will find\ndozens of taxi drivers who offer to take you to the city of Santa Teresa. The\ncost of the trip is 10 Peruvian soles (3 US dollars). The trip takes about 1\nhour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to go to Santa Teresa to spend the night and enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/cocalmayo-hot-springs\/\">Cocalmayo Hot Springs<\/a>. The other option is to have lunch there to continue the trip to Machu Picchu that same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Santa Teresa are the famous thermal baths of Cocalmayo.\nThe trip from Santa Teresa to the hydroelectric station is also done in a\njeepney. The trip takes about 30 minutes and will cost you 5 Peruvian soles (2\nUS dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once at the hydroelectric station, you can choose to go to\nAguas Calientes on foot or by train. Most tourists choose to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the hydroelectric station you can board one of the trains\nto Aguas Calientes (45 minute trip). The other option is to walk (2 hours of\ntravel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trains leave only 3 times a day: at 2.17 pm \/ 2.50 pm \/ 5.10\npm. The ticket can be purchased at the same station. The trip takes 45 minutes\non average. It is recommended to organize the trip to arrive on time for the\ntrain departure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking from the hydroelectric station to Aguas Calientes\nwill take between 2 or 3 hours, depending on the pace at which you advance. The\nroute crosses 2 tunnels, so it is recommended to take your precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aguas Calientes is one of the most cosmopolitan towns you\nwill see in Peru and it is almost entirely dedicated to Machu Picchu. It is\nfull of hostels, restaurants, bars, craft markets, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After spending the night in Aguas Calientes, there is only\none last section to get to Machu Picchu. You must choose to get to the Inca\nCity on foot or by bus. Most tourists decide to board the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bus ride will cost you US $ 24 (round trip). A good\neconomic option is to buy only the ticket for the climb (US $ 12) and walk back\nto Aguas Calientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking to Machu Picchu has a moderate difficulty. The path\nis along the same path and through a hundred stone steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This walking trip can last approximately 2 hours. It is not\nrecommended if tourists travel with children, elderly people or visit the\nHuayna Picchu mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon entering Machu Picchu, you will be asked to present\nyour admission ticket with your original passport. If you do not carry your\npassport, you will not be allowed to enter the Inca City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to bring sunscreen and a rain poncho. The\nweather in the Inca City can change from rain to heat in a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can return to Cusco by taking 2 routes: the train trip\nthrough Ollantaytambo or by the alternative route of Hidroel\u00e9ctrica, the same\nroute that you entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The train route is the fastest way to get to and from Machu\nPicchu. The train ride from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo lasts 2 hours.\nThen you must board one of the minivan to the City of Cusco (2 hours of\ntravel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route through Hidroel\u00e9ctrica (Santa Mar\u00eda) is the longest way to return to the city of Cusco. You must walk (or take a train) to the hydroelectric station. From there, take one of the bus services to Cusco (approximately 6 hours drive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-8b994a48-1ca0-40b4-a322-8422aef65ad7\" href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/cusco\/hiking-trekking\/inca-jungle-trek-to-machu-picchu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span><strong>I book my Inca Jungle now!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-76c16899-b2bf-4230-960d-a98730e787bd{font-size:18px;color:#fff !important;background-color:#2196f3 !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-76c16899-b2bf-4230-960d-a98730e787bd:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-76c16899-b2bf-4230-960d-a98730e787bd > i {display: none !important;}.advgbbtn-8b994a48-1ca0-40b4-a322-8422aef65ad7{font-size:18px;color:#fff !important;background-color:#2196f3 !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-8b994a48-1ca0-40b4-a322-8422aef65ad7:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-8b994a48-1ca0-40b4-a322-8422aef65ad7 > i {display: none !important;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in the Cusco region, Peru, the road from Santa Mar\u00eda to Santa Teresa Cusco is one of the most dangerous routes in the country.
