Let's Find Machu Picchu on the Map!
We recommend you the Google Earth for using as map when planning your trip to the ruins of Machu Picchu. The coordinates of Machu Picchu might come in handy: 13° 9' 23" S and 72° 32' 34" W. Especially for GPS users.
The best way to reach Machu Picchu is from Cuzco (Cusco) city, which is the biggest city located southeast of the ruins at a distance of 112 km (70 mi) by rail and road combined.
In order to find the site on a simple paper map, just find the city of Cuzco and go northwest of it. You will find and "M"-like shape formed by the turning Sacred River of Urubamba. The ruins are on the western part of the "M" shape. The whole area is quite close to Mount Veronica.
