By bus

From Aguas Calientes frequent buses leave to the ruins US$8 each way, US$15.50 round-trip starting at 5:30AM. There's often a queue, so if you're intent on being on the first bus up, you should arrive at least 90 minutes early. The journey takes around 1/2 hour to slowly wind around the switchbacks and up to the park.
