Best way to travel to Machu Picchu from Chile?
Q. My family is planning a trip to Chile in March of '08. We will spend the majority of our time in Santiago, but we want to travel into Peru to see Machu Picchu. I've tried to do some searches online for information about a train from Chile to Cusco, Peru, but I cannot find anything except tour guide sites. Can anyone recommend the best way to reach Machu Picchu from Chile via train?

A. Via train will be very difficult to go all the way from Chile. Lan airlines fly to Lima and then straight to Cuzco and you can find a good deal Santiago-Lima-Cuzco as it's the same airline (Lan Chile/ Lan Peru)

A. Machu Picchu was constructed around 1450, at the height of the Inca Empire, and was abandoned less than 100 years later, as the empire collapsed under Spanish conquest. Hiram Bingham, the credited discoverer of the site, and a few others originally hypothesized that the citadel was the traditional birthplace of the Inca people or the spiritual center of the "virgins of the suns" Another theory maintains that Machu Picchu was an Incan "llacta": a settlement built up to control the economy of the conquered regions and that it may have been built with the purpose of protecting the most select of the Incan aristocracy in the event of an attack.

A. No, I've never seen that on tv or newspaper. Some people go to offer prayers at Machu Picchu (e.g. Gisle Buendchen and Leo Dicaprio) because they think is "mystical". But, when a president is about to start his period of governor he goes to a 'misa' called "Te Deum" offered by the Cardinal of Lima. And then he goes to a protestant church (iglesia evangelica) for a ceremony given by some pastor.

Did the builders of Machu Picchu know how to reverse the polarity of gravitons?
Q. Ancient stone boulders perfectly placed into position have been found in Machu Picchu and other such ancient structures. In reality physical objects do not weigh anything, but have an attraction to the earth by gravity depending on the mass of the item. Nothing happens by magic and science is looking for sub atomic partials called gravitons that cause the effect. The way I see it. If we could reverse the polarity of gravitons in some way, by some charge, maybe we can make heavy objects weightless Yea I know nothing much about physics except I saw some documentaries on string theory and M theory. In those documentaries they talked about the graviton. They said that gravity is similar to magnitism but much weaker. I figure if you could… [cont.]

A. You are mixing "junk science" and misunderstanding some basic concepts. "Gravitons" are theoretical and have never been observed as far as I know. Weight and Mass are different concepts. Inertia is a property of particles with mass. Modern physics is still searching for a "Grand Unified Theory" Gravity is still very poorly understood. The more we learn, the more we ask new questions.

Asked by icegurl356 - Wed Jun 11 19:19:53 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Option 1.- Take the daily train from Cuzco to Macchu Picchu. Takes off at 6am and arrives 3 1/2 hours later, then a small bus from the riverside train station to the entrance, over a zig zag road some 200 ft above. Then go back to the station at 5pm to return to Cuzco. Option 2.- Take a bus or train to Km 88 (near Ollantaytambo town) from there you start the inka trail, a 4 day 3 night journey up the mountain to get to Macchu Picchu. This is a limited pass journey and you have to book-in with 45 days advance to ensure a spot. You reach Macchu Picchu in the morning and can visit the ruins the same day. Option 3.- Take a train to Km 104 and take the short INKA trail (1 day). You go from the river to the entrance of the ruins, but since… [cont.]

Machu Picchu: Do you have to hike all the way?

A. From Cuzco to Aguas Calientes you can go by train (about 3 hours trip). Once u are in Aguas Calientes u can take a bus (about 20 min) or hike (actually not hike but walk up a road and some stairs) about 40 min. Then you are in Machupichu where you have walk around the walls, ruins, rooms, stairs, etc. If you want, you can hike the Waynapichu mountain (next to Machucpichu) but u have to check if it is opened because after some "incidents" it is used to be closed.

Should I do the 4 day hike in Machu Picchu, Peru if I have no ACL in my left knee?
Q. I tore my ACL about 3 years ago, and had an operation just to remove the remains and clean it up--so I have no ACL in my left knee. From reading about Machu Picchu, it sounds like there's a lot of steps (the steps down would be the problem). I'm 32, in good shape, and am not worried about the hiking part--the question is if my knee will make it. I'll probably have one of those hiking poles too. The second part of the question is if it is worth it to do the 4-day hike? Or maybe just the 2-day hike? Or maybe just the train in the morning with all the blue-hairs.

A. I've been to Machu Picchu, and the hardest problem I had was just breathing. I'm in good shape, too, and I had to keep sitting down to catch my breath. I'd say go to Cusco, spend a day or two there to get used to the altitude, and then if you feel up to it, go for the two day hike. You'll still get some incredible views, and you won't be so screwed if your knee gives you problems. That said, the train is also pretty neat. Great views as well, and not just old people use it.

A. I've done it with Lima tours. Check their web page (www.limatours.com.pe) but let me tell you that Inka Trail is also a very good company. It is best to hire the inka trail with MONTHS in advance, very popular spot right now and they limit the number of people on the trail now so if you wait until reaching Cuzco you may not be able to do the trail.

What modes of transportation can one take to get to Machu Picchu from hotels in Lima, Peru (other than car)? ?
Q. My mother and I are going to Lima, Peru this November and would like to find a way to get to Machu Picchu without having to rent a car (we're only there for 5 days) perhaps a bus or train from a hotel would be available? If anybody knows from personal experience if there is anyway to get there without renting, please respond. Thank You ( ;

A. You pretty much have to fly to Cuzco, unless you want to spend 2 of your vacation days on the road. LAN and TACA both have frequent flights (LAN has a much better reputation). I got my flight from the Peruvian website Apunake, which was a LOT cheaper than a U.S. site, but to use it, you need a Visa card that participates in the Verified by Visa program (you can register your card on Visa's website or call the number on your card). From Cuzco you can book an MP tour, or spend the night in the town of Aguas Calientes (aka Machu Picchu), where you can simply take a bus up to MP early in the morning, before all the tourists arrive on the train (i think the first train arrives around 10am?).

A. Peru is strewn with a countless number of historical sites. Literally, you can't dig a hole anywhere without hitting some ruin or burial site. For example, for pre-inca sites, there is Chan-Chan, the biggest surviving adobe town in the world. Chan-Chan was the capital city of the Chimu, a powerful kingdom from the northern coast of Peru that was conquered by the Incas. There is Sipan and the pyramids of Lambayeque, were the Lord of Sipan was found. This was the American equivalent of the tomb of Tutankhamen. There is also Caral, just north of Lima, the oldest known village in the American continent (south, central and North America). There is Pachacamac, just south of Lima, the most important temple in pre-inca times and the second most… [cont.]
