Mist-shrouded stone terraces reveal themselves best when you arrive for sunrise, before the crowds fill ancient pathways. Hire a local guide at the entrance who'll explain how Incan engineers built a city that still channels water after 500 years.
We took the train to Aguas Calientes and bus up to Machu Picchu. Be sure to get tickets well in advance. We enjoyed Circuit 4 which brought us into the ruins with an amazing English-speaking guide. Fantastic trip of a lifetime. Not over-rated.

Either hire a guide company or be sure to book your circuits in advance. The mountain is sectioned off. Definitely stay the night, and do opposite circuits if you can, the train ride is long and the city is fun and safe.

Went up for 0600 entry in the rain, the whole site was misty and mysterious. Early enough to see the sundial. Mist shifted around providing amazing views of the site.

Machu Picchu is not a wonder of the modern world without reason. The place has a unique atmosphere. Do not save money on a guide, they bring you to the Inkas history and complete the tour.

Make sure that you purchase entrance and bus tickets ahead of time for Machu Picchu. Circuit 2 ticket is best.

Improving the process for ticketing for both the park and the bus would make it even better. Offering different attractions in Machu Picchu Pueblo would attract tourists to stay longer, reenactments, cultural dinner shows, etc.

We came to Aguascalientes the afternoon before our MP visit. If we had it to do over, we'd probably spend two days in Aguascalientes around our MP time to make it less hectic.

I was lucky and got a second ticket to visit the sanctuary. They always have a few for visitors who didn't buy in advance. And having no car traffic was so relaxing.

One night is plenty. Town is very small. Lots of restaurants and very friendly locals
"Beautiful hotel with world class service in excellent location. Close to everything, safe. Four star Breakfast and dinner included. Can’t go wrong here. "
"The staff at the Sanctuary by Belmond were extraordinary in their efforts to make us feel at home and cared for. One of our party lost a wallet on the grounds and they made every effort to help us find it. The front desk were especially accommodating in assisting us book bus tickets and entry tickets to Machu Picchu. Thumbs up!"
