I've got news for you. You must take a minivan, train and bus combination to get to ultimate destination of MP from Cuzco. Train doesn't do it all the way for you. Train doesn't begin from Cuzco. It begins in another town over higher elevation than in Cuzco. About a 30 minute or so drive to the train station, then like 4 hours to aguas calientes and then a stroll through the town to the buses, that is the dangerous part, from bus in ACalientes to top of MP. It's worth the risk I think.
Well thank goodness the hotel we booked also will transfer us to and from/ the train station from Cuzco for $5 each way and I was aware of the bus ride to Machu Picchu...I guess you need to be in line early morning to beat the crowd. Train tickets weren't cheap but I bought them online in case they sold out on seatsIt would have been a bummer to travel all that way and not see it! I would not have taken the bus from Cuzco!
