Key facts for group arrival at Machu Picchu Amazon Route and the hike

Once dropped off at the trailhead of the Amazon route (around noon), the 10 km hike to Aguas Calientes is flat and low difficulty, ideal for walking at a family pace in about 2.5 to 3.5 hours. It is recommended that the group organizes small individual daypacks with water and rain gear, keeping bulky luggage inside protected suitcases.

Golden tip for families: If traveling with children or seniors who prefer to avoid the walk along the tracks, upon arrival at the trailhead there is the option to board the local freight/passenger train to Aguas Calientes (subject to availability and rail operator schedules).

Route trivia: The journey crosses the Sacred Valley before ascending to the Abra Málaga pass (4,316 m a.s.l.) and gradually descending into the high jungle. It is a unique biodiversity trip where the vegetation rapidly changes from Andean to tropical in just a few hours.
