Up to Cuzco

Cuzco is 3300m above sea level, so leaving our journey and stay until after seeing Machu Picchu allowed us to better acclimatize..

The journey was from Machu Picchu to Ollantaytambo by rail, then bus to Cuzco.

The rail journey in the Peru Rail visadome train was fun - the rail employees use it as a light hearted fashion show


The staff and passengers enjoyed the train trip to Ollantaytambo and many of us helped the local economy with the purchase of baby alpaca woollen items.

And the locals at the photo stop.


The mountains were crystal clear.

Near Chinchero there was this interesting Inca complex.
