Aguas Caliente

The town is nestled into a mountain gorge, a lot is packed into a very small space. I love it!

Astounding Scenery

The train moved fast enough to make it difficult to take good shots. Last photos are in Aguas Caliente.

Riding the Rails

Not the best photos, but gives an idea of the terrain.

Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel

The best place to stay in Aguas Caliente, we like going first class.

The Grounds Surrounding Machu Picchu Pueblo

Beautiful jungle type setting, tropical plants and birds everywhere.

Peru Rail Taking off

The train runs right by the hotel.

Pachakuteq Inn

OK, this is really our hotel. Right off the bat when Chris was inspecting the hot water the curtain rod fell apart. Oh well, at least we know we'll have to take or be hit in the head with the rods.
There is a view of the mountains from our room, lovely.
