Train to Machu Picchu

Tuesday, 21 August 2018

Trains between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu run frequently. A few also go all the way to Cusco. We had first-class seats on the Inka Rail line.for the roughly two hour trip.

The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba River downstream from Cusco to Machu Picchu.
There are foot trails that go to Machu Picchu, including the famous Inca Trail (an arduous four-day trek from Ollantaytambo). The train hugs the river.
Our guide, Manny, is a serious origami practitioner. He folded a llama (above), a tarantula, and Yoda. Only the llama and Yoda made it home intact.
