Huayna Picchu is the tall mountain behind Machu Picchu. You can hike to the top for a wonderful overview of Machu Picchu. The hike is strenuous with lots of stone steps and the higher altitude can cause you to lose your breath quickly. Only 300 people are allowed to do this hike each day and it i…

Una aventura excitante. El viaje en tren (tres horas) te recrea toda la hermosura del paisaje. Maravilloso lugar, hay que caminar mucho pero al final... te transportas a otro mundo. Los inkas merecen nuestro respeto!!!

Hey Phylarch - don't have the time to write up a proper review as my wife and I are back in India but headed home shortly. We were in Peru for a month in June 2006 and used a company called Wayki Trek at www.waykitrek.net and they were great. We had a professionally run trek with only one other co…

The bus ride takes about 20 min and costs for foreigners US$7 and for Peruvians US$ 5.25 –each way. The ride itself is spectacular as the narrow track winds its way up the mountainside. It can be a bit scary at times with almost vertical drops plunging down into the Vilcanota Valley below especial…

This isn't so much a review as an overview of transportation to Machu Picchu from Cusco. I decided to put them in one place as the information seemed scattered when I was researching.
Inca Trail: There are 2 day and 4 day options. You should book months and months in advance. Obviously, people do…

Our stay here was bittersweet, as some things were just beyond the control of the wonderful staff at Pirwa, but there is always room for improvement.
There is no way they could control a heavy rain shower knocking out power to the entire block for over 24 hours. (Not an everyday occurrence, we we…

The Vistadome train has bubble windows above the regular windows so you can look up and see the tops of the mountains lining the valley. The train to Aguas Calientes, gateway to Machu Picchu, follows the Rio Urubamba through the Sacred Valley. The scenery is spectacular and well worth the extra co…

We arrived, by train, in Aguas Calientes. From the railway station it is an 15 minutes walk to La Cabana (Av. Pachacutec M20-3, Aguas Calientes).
The hotel is in a narrow (car-free) steep street, next to the hot springs (baths) of Agua Calientes.
Although we arrived around 10.00 am our rooms w…

This trail branches off from the Huayna Picchu Trail and adds another 1-2 hours of hiking. The hike descends into the jungle and then back up the mountain and then back down. The Temple of the Moon was built in a natural cave. The stones fit together to form rooms with doors and windows – only …

There are three different trains from Cusco to Aguas Calientes: Most people take either Backpacker (see my other review), or the Vistadome, as the Hiram Bingham is a waaay pricey luxury train.
As opposed to the Backpacker, the Vistadome train offers some ridiculously cheesy entertainment to amus…

This train is a popular way for budget travelers to get from Machu Picchu to Cusco. The train is very crowded and cramped with not much leg room. There is no food or beverage service, but you can buy drinks on the train. The trip to Cusco takes 4 hours, 4 very long cramped, uncomfortable hours. …
