Machu Picchu Transportation Tips by El_Sueco

Choose the backpacker vagon! Information / Sources Review

When going from Cuzco to Machupicchu you can choose two types of vagons. Taking the "Backpacker" type, you save some money and the differens is how to be served the food on the train.
In the Backpacker type which will cost some dollar less, it was said the we would have to leave our seats and go for our coffe, but nevertheless the 'coffeman' came, so I don't understand the differens at all.
At the train there is a simple serving, coffe, sandwiches and of course "nate de coca", thea made on leaves de coca bush - which helps you with the altitude.
But if you are used to the altitude in Cuzco there is no problem, as you now are going down to Machu Pichu.
