Sorry, there is no such thing like Machu Picchu Village, this village at the end station is called "Aqua Caliente" due to the hot water pools. To go to the Machu Picchu you have to get a bus and climb up the mountain, from that village. Btw there is a big daily market with nice stuff. It is anyway appropriate to spend the night there and take one of the early buses in the morning.

Hi Hanspeter: I’m sorry, but that’s not correct. The original name of the village is Aguascalientes, but the government renamed it a while back to Machu Picchu Village to make it clearer. There was apparently a lot of confusion over people thinking they were going to Machu Picchu not knowing they needed to buy a train ticket to Aguascalientes. I’m sure the local people still refer to it as Aguascalientes, but the train station is now named Machu Picchu Village.

Hi Barbara, I was there in Aguas Caliente in 2012, I think this is a bad decision from the government, as it will confuse tourist as you mentioned.

Hi Sir Rosco. Machu Picchu is in a valley that is significantly lower than Cusco, so it stays fairly warm all year round. The bottom is considered semi-tropical (hundreds of varieties of orchids thrive there). The ruins are a bit higher up, but not much, so temps don't get terribly cold. The most you have to deal with is rain and fog, which is quite common, so take a rain slick. Usually, the fog and rain clear a bit in the afternoon. Otherwise a shirt, sweater, and maybe a light jacket will do.

I went there one Christmas a few years ago. Christmas Eve in Cusco was lovely! The trip to the base of Machu Picchu was uneventful, but the train coming back broke down, so they had to send out a second engine to come and rescue us. Even better, *_that_* broke down too, so they had to send a *_third_* engine out to get us back to Cusco!

I enjoyed your video. I went to Peru in 2002, but I only had a camera, no video recorder. It was nice to see again what I saw then. I took the backpacker train, though. It was about $40 and was definitely full. I still can't believe I walked all over Machu Picchu. Cusco was incredible, but I got terribly sick from the altitude.

Hi Heather: I got on the train just outside of Cusco. There were only a handful of passengers there because most go overland to Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley & stay overnight to see the ruins there. That town is about halfway to Macchu Picchu. When we stopped there the train filled up. I had taken a day tour through the Sacred Valley so didn't need to see them and I was very glad I took the train from Cusco because it was a wonderful experience being doted on by the crew the first half.

I finally had to laugh. Agua Caliente had a solid line of Grayhound-size buses all the way through from the train station out the other end of that little town. MP and etc., Peru's greatest attraction. A guide told me that there were two million(!) Peruvians in the tourist business.

Great video of this wonderful journey. But the sad thing is, the train used to go all the way from San Pedro station in the centre of Cusco, and climb out of the city via an impressive series of zig-zags and horseshoe-curves. Now they have chopped the service back to Poroy which is in the middle of nowhere and requires a taxi ride often through congested traffic to reach. I don't know why they have done this as the line from San Pedro is still there and obviously used by something as the rails are still shiny. When I was there no-one could give me a convincing answer as to why this retrograde decision had been made. I wonder if trains for locals use it, that are not available to tourists?

I'm 65 and in fairly good shape for my age, but not athletic by any stretch of the imagination, and slightly worried about my upcoming trek to Machu Picchu.

@BarbaraWeibel

Hello Luredaddy: I explain in the first 1 20 seconds of the video that the Train Station is in Poroy, about a 20-minute taxi ride from the center of Cusco. However, despite its location, it is still referred to as the Cusco Station for Machu Picchu. As for the names Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes, the original name of the town Is Aguas Calientes, however some years ago the Peruvian government decided to rename the town Machu Picchu Pueblo, due to confusion about what was the destination for the Machu Picchu ruins. The name Machu Picchu Pueblo is what is currently shown on maps. The difference in passengers is that there are very few passengers from Poroy to Ollantaytambo, but the train fills up at the Ollantaytambo stop.

@@BarbaraWeibel Thank you for your reply. On my trip in 2014 I was driven by car from Cusco to Ollantaytambo & pick up from there & driven back to Cusco. I would like to know now why I didn't leave from Poroy, but as the agent is no longer open I guess I will never know. I was pick up very early from my hotel driven to Ollantaytambo a agent met in the car park walked to the train. The train was packed & I didn't have a good seat, when I arrived I was met again by a guide who sent my bag to the Hotel before we took the bus up to Machu Picchu & was given a 2.5 hour tour of Machu Picchu after I could get a free lunch in the cafe. I knew nothing of this drive or guide it was so unexpected. Before I departed I looked at my ticket & it had seat 2 which was right at the front of the train, with that large window it was like watching a movie looking at the vista. Now I understand why there were no people & then there were.

Thanks. We are staying in Cuzco for 6 nights. Not going to do machuu Picchu till the 4th day I think. We'll do day tour stuff from Cusco. We'll have all the right meds for the altitude. Ha! We are staying in Lima for a week too. Great video!

Joyce Andreassen sorry Joyce but I just don’t remember if there were toilets on the train, but it was only a 3.5 hour ride from Cusco, as I wrote in the notes for the video.

Hi Roberto. I honestly can't remember for sure. I think I bought them at the train office in Cusco upon arrival but since then I believe they've imposed quotas, so may be better to try to buy online ahead of time now.

It was reserved seating, for sure. See if you can get the front seat in the front car, next to the engineer's cabin, as it has a huge window.

That's what we are aiming for! Thank you so much! Did you go up MP Mountain or Huayna Picchu or was it just the archaeological site?
@BarbaraWeibel
@BarbaraWeibel 9 жыл бұрын
Have a bad hip, so the Huayna Picchu was too much for me. I settled for the rest of the archaeological site, which was plenty, plus an easier hike to the back entrance to see the Mayan bridge. Also, try to stay overnight. By 3 p.m. all the day trippers are gone and you have the park practically to yourself for a blissful couple of hours. It is wonderful to sit on the elevations above the site and watch the sun set.

I think we are going to do our first night in Olly and see the Sacred Valley after a good night's rest. I wasn't even thinking about the Sacred Valley but since our flight lands around 11am, there are no more trains going to AC from Cusco and the new schedule isn't up yet for 2016. Then we'll take the train to AC and overnight there so we can be in the first group. I don't think we will be able to do Huayna Picchu on "this trip" but we are going to attempt MP Mountain. We'll definitely be there all day. I just want to see a sunrise/sunset if possible and I'll have to check times for since it will be the very end of April. I sent your video over to my sis-in-law since it will be the 2 of us going. She loved it and is just as excited as I am!

Hi Music Man. I had no problem taking my 22" carry-on size suitcase on board. Most people do a day trip so there was plenty of room.

Lo que Peru ya deberia estar planeando es invertir unos mas de 1.000 MILLONES de dolares para que el agua en todo el Peru se pueda tomar del caño como paises desarrollados Peru tiene el recurso para hacerlo, cambiaría todo el Peru por supuesto.

Nacida en Chosica, Peru un residencial pueblo y con pokas vecinos, pokoa s casa, alrededor, he bebido buen agua potable, casi dulce, mejor ke la sprin g wtaer de USA, mis hermnaos y yo, tomabamos del canio y nunca nos enfermamos, los suizos algunos italinaos despues y los peruano, recogian el agua del rio Rimmmmac y lo subian por tubos arriba y luego bajab a par a las casa, y si ahora no hay agua y el sabor es desabrido, creo ke es por la poblacion ke aumn eto, vinieron del norte, del centro a la capital, y este sera el problema, ke falt agua, , nacida en los 50s, nunca falto agua , y la califdad era excelente,gracias. Chosica fue diseiaida por el Ingles James Impett, los puentes, parke, municipio, colegios, etc, eramos pokitoos, mayoria descendientes de britanicos, algunos alllem naes e irlandeses, etc.a mis 60 , nadie em cree mi eda,,mucahs frutas,, rio limpio, etc.
