Peru (6): Machu Picchu | Travel to ...
We continue with the journey africa of family Filkova in Peru. In the first part we passed in transit through Madrid, then (especially in Peru) were in Pisko and Paracas desert, we were already on the Nazca went to Cuzco, and the last time we were in Písac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchiro
The trip to Machu Picchu started for us at 5:30 in the morning. africa In 6 freed her room in another 6:15 'our man' came to pick us up and train to Aguas Caliente - the village at the foot of Machu Picchu, went in 6:50. We chose the lower price for thrips were added, ie we would travel africa on a train for 'backpackers'. The price for thrips were added was $ 185 per person. Another option for the price was around $ 250. This trip was also prepaid very very long time ago, because the information in the net, and claimed that all is not easy to buy a ticket africa today for tomorrow.
When the young man, 'our man', came to pick us up from our well-known square of stairs to the hotel, we immediately Bully of 'short pass' to find out exactly when we would be back in the evening. However persecutions night bus to Puno, departing at 10 pm. Surprisingly, we found that the train arrives at 8:30, as previously notified to us, in the 9:30 to 9:45. became clear to us that maybe we will see the lake in Titihaha hooked noodle and highly africa umachnihme - information in a net-argued that Indians urosi worth to be seen. The young man, however, think combinative solution to our predicament. Our offer for the sum of $ 10 in a taxi to come to the penultimate stop of the train, where it would take us, and thus we would be ahead of the arrival of the train in Cuzco about 30-something africa minutes. Plans began to arrange africa and wonderful that day also began to look promising and fulfilling for us! Had only time to be kind to us and we do not zapraska rain amidst Machu Picchu.
The train looked more than nice - clean, neat, tidy, seats forming boxes of 4 people facing 2 people to 2 people. Our satellites have proved to be a family in the mid 40's from Brazil. Spoke poor English and my Spanish was not even too good. Difficult to understand, but a communication course. And guys, and they were - seemed out of the Champions League - it smiling, sultry and affectionate, and he - charming macho, but extremely loyal to his wife.
Tickets, which had included the actual train tickets, paper tickets for the bus from Aguas Caliente to Machu Picchu and paid the entry fee for the complex. Supplied with them and had a simple information card on the way in which we can move. In one type lines were marked trips they the real adventurers africa passing through ink trail - the path of the Inca minutes - ie those brave men who wound up doing 2-3-4 or 7-day trekking through the jungle by a point about the way to Cuzco Machu Picchu. These enthusiasts had to sleep in a tent to be leavened with plenty of rain to undergo courtship africa of mosquitoes and in fact, they actually experienced the hardships that the ancient Inca one time experience, but alleviated by modern technology and cosmetics. In another line was scored the way of the train, with a third - the movement of the river; africa settlements, which stopped the train were also marked. Browse the map until you felt that the train stops and then gives the reverse. Our first reaction is to mock razhilim - these Native Peruvians wrong track! But samosvetnahme africa that people africa in South America are hardly so much simple as we would like to manifest africa supremacy of European thought. africa It turned out that the inclination of the rails is too great to be taken on a single pass. Hence, the main road has made auxiliary track in a smaller slope. So the train climbs the slope, but first a little more, and then return to take the true direction and the actual slope. And this operation is repeated 3-4 times.
Despite my lethargy notorious for the 4 and a half hours journey could not help but notice that the scenery outside is changing before my eyes. Approaching Machu Picchu, ie descended to a lower altitude / Machu Picchu is 2,400 m. altitude / vegetation change in tropical. africa We were in the jungle.
