One of two ways you can access Machu Picchu, either pay for the bus ticket or walk up the mountain. This would be the most expensive transport service you can pay here in Peru (given the short distance). The location is fine, easy to find, and with plenty of signage at the end of the street. You'd often see a line up here so not hard to miss. Staff speaks enough English to sell you the ticket.

The middle point if you are taking the bi-model transport service from Perurail. It has a nice and beautiful view, is clean, and you get a lot of local vendors selling souvenirs. This location offers clean facilities as well and sometimes stands for snacks and chicha. Can't really miss it if you are with the rail companies!

The one place that every tourist and local Peruvians visit. It's huge, spacey, but subject to random closures (anyone knows where to look up when and why the square is scheduled to close?) The buildings surrounding the square is beautifully architected and historical. The main square is neighbour to a lot of museums and churches that everyone ought to visit at least once in their lifetime. The square itself is free to visit, but the museums near by all are paid for entry.

Expect some to sell tourist packages or shoe cleaning services.

Great trail. About 30 minutes hike from trailhead to the lake for average adult. Not accessibility nor stroller friendly due to elevation changes. Quiet in early morning, an easy work out.

Scenic view with very easy to walk trails and beach fronts. Some of the beach accesses may lead to private docks so watch out those no trespassing signs. Flat and can walk around within 30 minutes, stroller friendly.
