Ridng all the way to Machu Picchu
Hello folks,
Was wondering if anyone out there has tried to ride all the way to Machu Picchu, or at least as far as the road goes. So I underestimated the difficulty of getting to MPichu, it hsa been a lot tougher just to get here to Abancay where I am now, but I have a plan to get there..."the backway".
Ride to Santa Maria and leave the moto..taxi to Santa Teresa, or ride the moto if possible...hike 2 miles through the forest and across a river....then pay to climb MP. Has anyone done this? What are the roads like from Cusco to Santa Maria, or even all the way to Santa Teresa. I am hearing conflicting stories from the locals here.
Need to know quickly...heading to Cusco in the morning. Then Santa Maria the next day.
For my info check my website. From Lima - Abancay 1350km dirt roads!
Thanks,
Daveed
