BUS CUSCO HIDROELECTRICA ROUND TRIP

OVERVIEW

The hydroelectric route is a path that follows the Urubamba River from Cusco to the town of Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Along the way, visitors can enjoy stunning panoramic views of nature, such as mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and jungles.

 

One of the main advantages of the hydroelectric route is that it is one of the most economical options to get to Machu Picchu, as it does not require the use of expensive trains or private transportation. Instead, visitors can walk the path for about 3 hours, or take public transportation such as a bus or taxi from Cusco to the hydroelectric plant and then walk for 2 hours.

 

However, it is important to note that the hydroelectric route is a more challenging option in terms of walking, especially if you are not used to walking long distances. It can also be more tiring than taking the train directly from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, which is the most comfortable but also the most expensive option.

 

In summary, the hydroelectric route is a popular and economical option for those who want to explore Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Although it is not necessarily the best option for everyone, it offers a unique and beautiful experience in nature and can be an attractive option for those looking for a more economical adventure.
