  • Located just above Cusco, these ruins are a great sidetrip before or after Machu Picchu.

    Machu Picchu: Mystical and mysterious

  • Machu Picchu is absolutely breathtaking. As soon as you pass through the entrance gate, you come round a bend in the trail and there before you lies this amazingly intact ancient city resting on the peak of a mountain. The view is incredible. If you take the bus instead of hiking the Inca Trail, even the switchbacks along the road leading up to Machu Picchu from Aguascalientes will make you gasp.

  • We stopped at Ollyantaytambo on our way back to Cusco from Aguascalientes. It's a short train ride away and from there we were able to take a taxi back to Cusco to catch our flight to Lima. Ollyantaytambo is a small village located at the base of the ruins. Walk around the grid-like streets of the town, which are lined with hanging red flags indicating "chicha" is brewed there, and get a feel for local life. The ancient Incan aqueduct still brings water through the town.
