« Tupanan Cafe, Cuzco | Main | Machu Picchu »
Surprisingly, from Cuzco to Machu Picchu is downhill -- from 11,000 feet to 8,000 feet.
The only ways to get there are a four day hike on foot (no way) or a 3.5 hour luxury train ride (yes way) on the Orient Express -- named the Hiram Bingham after the Yale professor who rediscoverd Machu Picchu in 1912.
Traveling leisurely through the Andean moutains on a 5-star train was a most enjoyable experience -- where one can enjoy the Oreint Express cusine and the "bottomless cup of coca tea". Yes!
