The best way to reach Machu Picchu during your Peru tours is to take a trail that leads you there. It is a very different thing altogether where you actually trek to the Inca citadel instead of taking the train and bus there. There is of course nothing wrong with those methods it’s just that if you have a chance to see the remarkable Andean landscape firsthand why you wouldn’t want to take the opportunity to experience it. Imagine trekking through the remote highland in Peru with ever changing weather by taking the Inca trail or the Salkantay trek, 2 routes taken by the native Inca to reach Machu Picchu, and sleeping under the star studded Andean night before finally reaching the Inca city. It defiantly has a special appeal among many travelers to get to the Inca ruins this way and it sure is a great place to take nature photographs for your travel album.
