From our hotel in Urubamba (after a “blessing”) we coached to Ollantaytambo then took the train to Aquas Calientes which is the town immediately below Machu Picchu – the train isn’t quick but does offer some great views (including a snow-capped mountain!):
From the train station we switched to a bus that took us up a VERY winding road to reach Machu Picchu, along with hundreds of other people! Unexpectedly Margaret and I got split from the rest of the group and sent on “circuit 1” which is a high overview requiring us to climb many steps (hard work in the high altitude) … we did get some good overviews though:
