Because they want to get as far away from you as possible
Meaning is "old peak". However, Machu Picchu is also a famous landmark of the incas. Many people pay top dollar to go visit this mountain in the Peru region.
There's a train which travels from Cuzco to a town near the base of the mountains by Machu Picchu, and from there you can take a bus. I visited Machu Picchu (after Cuzco) recently and it is beautiful! Anyhow, just ask any police officer or store owner and they can help tell you where to go - they're very friendly!
Machu Picchu tours are located in Peru. There are many options as to the length of time and what you want to see in your tour. Most tour agents can book your trip for you and will know all the procedures you need to go through.
I would like to know this as well , the place is PERFECT for farmers and sutch! superb place , why dont people restore it and move in there! I wanna go live there!
Machy Picchu Gateway is a really good site for a lot of options in how you want to travel. However, the cost can really depend on how long your trip is, and where you go on the way.
The tours all depend on how long you want to take. There are tours available for a day trip to several days. Check out peruforless.com or www.andeantravelweb.com for more details.
