Getting there required a 7 AM departure from the hotel in Cusco for a bus ride of 1 1/2 hours. Followed by the luxurious 3 hour Hiram Bingham train to Aguascalientes. And then another bus ride – this one only one hour – of switchbacks before reaching the gate to Machu Picchu.
It was worth it.
Davidson Big Trip 
The trip is looking amazing – of course it was so well-planned! And I love the photos too. Keep the posts and photos coming and continue to enjoy it all!
Awesome experience and wonderful pictures of a very special place!
Did you and Col go in 2013?
Sure looks like it was worth it!! No wonder there is a temple up there – what a place to appreciate nature and history. Great pics of you two also. 😉
It’s even more impressive When you think that that was just one place on a road that linked Ecuador Bolivia Argentina and Perú
