I'm Peruvian-American and have been lucky enough to visit my forefathers' Machu on two separate occasions both by taking the bus up and doing the ever so spiritual week-long trek. I personally prefer the latter. I realize not everyone has the physical capability do this and that may be why the buses are available.
I remember years ago, there was this thought going around, to visit Machu soon because it was on its way to becoming the next Disneyland thanks to Westernization. Now that I read about the helicopter tour, I guess the day is here. To each its own about traveling… but the landing and departing of helicopters on such a sacred spot makes it quite intrusive on those who opt to follow the same holy path as the mighty Incas...therefore not respecting the philosophy of "to each its own."
