By Train: Pullman Train To - From Machu Picchu

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Pullman Train is the way many people travel to and from Machu Picchu. It's a 70 mile (112 km) ride from Cusco to Machu Picchu, and the ride is pretty comfortable. The train is usually packed so it pays to make reservations in advance. If you're hiking the Inca Trail, it's a nice way to return to Cusco because of course, you'll be tired from the 4 days it took you to get to Macchu Picchu, and, it offers another experience.

    We took the train back to Cusco and I remember going over the Urubamba River, through narrow gorges where you could almost reach your hand out the window and touch the rocky sides of the cliffs, the colorful locals - and some colorful tourists - and just beautiful, wild, natural scenery.

    There's food and beverages available on the ride, too.

     I like how they let you sample it but after you drink it they tell you the fementation is cause by saliva from chewing the corn sprouts. It tasted good untile then.
