This is a top pick! ... of the city. In fact, Machu Pichu is at lower elevations than Cuzco, so had I been willing to take the tourist train to Aguas Caliente, the small town just below the ancient Inca sight, it would have taken me 3 hours to get here and I would have felt ...
An Eventful Day
This is a top pick! Megan's View of the Day: We woke up early to try and make it to Machu before the first train arrived at 10.30AM. We were both feeling a bit worse for wear after having some dodgy food from Victor Victorias in Cusco, so after a dry bread roll for breaky ...

Nice Fake ID Collection
This is a top pick! Getting up ultra early we got our way down to one of Cusco's train stations to catch the early Backpacker train out to Aguas Calientes. Once on the train we lucked out and got a seat next to another one of those annoying people that just talk, talk, talk ...
Inca Trail Day 4 - New Years Day Machu Picchu
This is a top pick! ... frankly knackered, after walking 49.5 kilometres we didn't even feel guilty. We therefore got the bus back down the mountain to Agua Calientes town for a well deserved lie down on a bed. We got to the place and more or less fell straight to sleep, ...

This is a top pick! We had been hearing about the second day of the Inca Trail since Lima. It was supposed to be a killer. A long, steep ascent to Dead Woman´s Pass at 4200 meters, the highest point on the trail. Then a long, steep descent down to the ...
¡Machu Picchu!
This is a top pick! ... the midday sun and with so many more people there on a daytrip from Cusco, it was time for us to go back to Aguas Calientes. Things I Learned * I can climb peaks! And it is a great feeling! * Machu Picchu deserves to be a major tourist destination. ...

4 days trekking, no showers, amazing result
... exhaustion and hunger set in. After more pictures and wandering around the site, I took the bus down the mountain to Agua Calientes (Machupiccu town) ate lunch and went to the "hot" (more like lukewarm) springs. At this stage any form of ...
Inca Trail - Day Four and Machu Picchu!

Aguas Calientes - Day 2
We had a free day in Aguas Calientes. Later we took the train back to Ollantaytambo. Edgar and his wife picked us up and took us back to Cusco. On the drive we stopped at an Incan bar and played a bar game outside (similar to skeeball). Walker lost to ...

aguas caliantes
And I thought yesterday was hard!!! This was a 800 metre climb that was pretty god dam steep!!! It hurt. ALOT! My legs hurt soooooo much that 3/4 of the way up I was tempted to just jump off the mountain because the thought of having to keep ...
The Motorcycle diaries - Day 2

See in Europe... we would call that a lie.
Where to begin, well since we last wrote we have had a few more flavours of Peruvian culture including our first (and I hope last) taste of the local dish, Cuy, commonly knowly as guinea pig. The flavour was not all that offensive however, the ...
Day 3 - Machu Pichu
... M Pichu, before walking all the way down again. Stupidly, I had left some of my wet clothes at the hotel, which was back at Aguas Calientes, so instead of walking across the railway line back to my bike, I had to first walk 20 mins back into town to pick ...
Machu Pichu, you might have heard of it?
... do the proper Inca Trail, or any bloody trail for that matter, so I went for the option to take the train to the town of Aguas Callientes (literally hot waters), and a short bus ride from there. I met yet more dutch guys to travel there with, but i dont ...

I REALLY should have worked out before this trip

Machu Picchu
So of COURSE Machu Picchu was spectacular. Of course it was. There I was, nagged by the concern that after the Sacred Valley, with its wealth of mythology recorded by the Spanish, the lack of any records about Machu Picchu, combined with its relative ...
