How to get to machu picchu for your account from cusco

I think that three times they are insufficient when traveling to Machu Picchu, because as of this publication, I still have questions in my head, about the magnitude and grandeur of one of the 7 new World Wonders, a traveling dream that I wanted to fulfill since History classes at school. To make your trip as easy as possible, I have prepared this information to get from Cuzco to Machu Picchu and enjoy this enigmatic World Heritage Site.
Lambayeque culture, sicán national museum

Do you know the Lambayeque or Sicán culture? It doesn't sound to you, right? We had never heard of her until she reached Chiclayo. It was one of the great civilizations that developed on the current north coast of Peru and that have amazed and continue to amaze archaeologists and those who, like us, discover them as they pass through the country. Vicús, Moche, Lambayeque and Chimú were some of these advanced cultures that inhabited this area for about 3000 years but which most of the common people know little about. Why? Because later came the Incas, the famous Incas. A civilization that developed over a hundred years and whose fame hides / hides millennia of development from other great peoples.
Paracas national reserve

The Paracas National Reserve consists of the Paracas Peninsula, coastal areas and tropical deserts. It provides a sanctuary of more than 74 species of plants that grows in this extremely arid area, and 216 species of birds, 16 types of mammals, 10 species of reptiles and 193 species of fish. The marine protected area covers about 3350 square meters, 65% is sea and 35% is land and islands. It is considered as one of the richest and uncommon ecosystems in the world. But in all honesty the attraction is not only the wildlife, but the beauty of the desert and ocean landscapes.
The second city of barro del mundo, chan chan and los chimú

Chachapoyas, mochicas, lambayeque-sicán ... and we still had one more culture to discover in the #LatTrip before arriving in Lima: the Chimú or Chimor Culture. In Trujillo we visited what was its capital: Chan Chan, the largest mud city in the world at the time - and now occupies the second place behind Bam, in Iran. At its peak it occupied an area of 22 km2 and had a population of between 60,000 and 300,000 inhabitants - archaeologists disagree on this point. Again, even more in this case, we decided that going through adobe avenues without an explanation would not be the best way to get to know this great culture and we opted for a guided tour.
