Machu Picchu is the kind of place that makes a train ride and an early wake-up feel completely worth it. From Cusco, the journey leads to Aguas Calientes, the closest village to the ancient Inca city, before heading up by bus to one of the most famous ruins in Peru.

The trip follows a simple but memorable route: no roads to Machu Picchu, just train or the Inca Trail, and a tightly limited number of visitors each day. Once inside, the video explores the terraces, the main square, the priest’s house, and the stonework that fits together without cement. It also touches on the site’s history, the agricultural terraces, and the legendary photo spot that draws so many travelers.

This is travel vlog and historical sightseeing content for anyone interested in Machu Picchu, Peru travel, Inca ruins, South America tourism, and virtual travel experiences. It’s a relaxed mix of journey, culture, and iconic mountain scenery.

00:21Picchu
00:21You can only get there by train or by walking. The amount of people who are allowed to go into
00:27Machu Picchu
00:27Every day is around a thousand people so it's very restricted. They don't want to have any over tourism. There's
00:34our train coming
00:40Here we go
00:56We've reached Aguascaliente, the village closest to Machu Picchu
01:01We're gonna stay the night here and going to climb Machu Picchu in the morning
01:06because we only have a ticket allowing us to enter at 8 o'clock in the morning
01:12So let's see what we can do here in this village
01:19Oh, I've been officially to Machu Picchu
01:29Even though we're just going tomorrow
01:31So I haven't actually been there
01:33But when you enter Peru, you don't get a stamp in your passport
01:37So you can get one at least here
01:40All over Peru, there's this weird demon dogs
01:50Look at that
01:51They're everywhere
01:55He's going to touch the demon dog
01:57He's going to touch the demon dog
01:58He's going to touch the demon dog
01:59Touch
02:00Touch
02:01Touch
02:01Such a pussy he didn't do it
02:04Aguascaliente is obviously the most touristy place in all of Peru
02:08Such concentration of tourists here
02:10This village exists only because of the tourism
02:13I don't think it existed before
02:20He touched it

02:31And we are finally on the way to Machu Picchu
02:35Let's catch the bus
02:42We came up here with the bus
02:44It took like 20 minutes
02:46It came from down there where the river is
02:50It looks very steep
02:51Probably more than 500 meters
02:53We are doing the red circuit
02:57It's apparently the best one
03:28It's very easy to see why this is one of the most touristy places
03:36On the whole planet
03:38Where in the world do you get a view like that?
03:45And to honor the Incas who built this magnificent city
03:49We are going to eat some coca-lis
03:55This right there is the main entrance to the city
03:58And outside all these terraces were used for agriculture
04:03And the Incas cultivated here mainly corn, coca leaves and potatoes
04:10Pretty convenient to have all the food just grow outside your house
04:24Right now we are at the main square of Machu Picchu
04:28There are two temples and the priest's house
04:30And this here in front of the priest's house is the altar where they sacrificed whatever they sacrificed
04:38And that's how the Incas built their buildings in this style
04:42Stones
04:43They have no spaces in between
04:46They have no spaces in between
04:47That's their Incas specialty
04:49Not using cement but carving the stone so it fits perfectly to the next one
04:55Very impressive
04:56And over there is the spot where everybody is taking those legendary photos
05:15And that you can see that the hike is not hard at all
