Make the connections work
Pueblo is the overnight base
The five curated stays are in Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes), below the citadel. Add the uphill connection and admission check-in to the rail journey. [5][3]
A trek needs its own plan
The Inca Trail, Salkantay and classic Choquequirao out-and-back are distinct routes. They do not all end at the same entrance or include the same admission arrangements. [6]
