Fair Bus to Machu Picchu
Toward Fair Tourism: Why Choose Torontoy for Your Journey to Machu Picchu?
For many decades, the rural heart of our region remained forgotten, watching from the sidelines as the world passed by. But today, a long-held dream is finally taking flight: the Torontoy family is at last a participant in the "Machu Picchu business". After an intense legal battle against a selfish monopoly, Torontoy has emerged victorious, earning its place as a pioneer of truly inclusive tourism.
Reaching Machu Picchu is no small feat. It is a challenging pilgrimage where, after traveling by train through a route that crosses the rebel, steep mountains of the Sacred Valley, visitors finally reach the town of Aguas Calientes, now known as Machu Picchu Pueblo. Yet, the adventure does not end at the station. To reach the Sanctuary itself, visitors must ascend by bus for 30 minutes to the mountain's crest. It is a journey of perspective—many travelers arrive still believing that Cusco is lower than the citadel, only to realize that here, at 8,000 feet, they have reached a sanctuary where the air is clear and the history is deep. Now, for the first time, you can complete that final leg of the journey with a company that truly belongs to this land.
Visiting Machu Picchu is a dream for millions, but today, that dream carries a new dimension: social justice and shared development. For three decades, transportation to the citadel was held under a scheme that limited opportunities for local inhabitants. However, with the concession of Consetur expiring at the end of 2025, a door has opened—and we must not allow it to be slammed shut by those clinging to the past with "claws and teeth."
More Than a Trip, an Act of Conscience
Choosing Torontoy is more than just booking a seat; it is participating in a "horizontal multiplier effect" that knows no borders. While the old monopoly has fought to maintain its ego-centric grip, Torontoy emerges as a society of comuneros—humble, hardworking local people who represent the living heritage of the Quechua spirit.
Supporting this local enterprise ensures that the wealth generated by tourism doesn't vanish into a single pocket. Instead, it flows like vital mountain rain into the rural areas of the province—communities that, as investigative reports have shown, still lack basic services like running water and proper sewage systems despite being the guardians of a World Wonder.
