Los Aventuras de Edmundo y Linda

We woke up at 4:30am to take a 4 hour train ride to Aguas Calientes, a city near Machu Piccu. We bought some wool mitts and toques because we were so cold. The area we are in now is approx. 3,000m above sea level. It gets pretty cold here at night and in the shade. We were served some breakfast on the train and meet some very nice Peruvian and Argentinean ladies. Spectacular views during the entire train ride. The town was very nice and was surrounded by amazing mountains, a creek and lots of markets. We went to the ¨hot springs¨ that weren´t even hot are really brown. We walked around town and ate some traditional Peruvian food, stuffed (vegatable and meat) peppers.

The next day we woke up at 4:30 in the monring to stand in line to catch the 5:30 bus to Machu Piccu. Amazing there was 22 buses that left at that time. Machu Piccu is absolutely beautiful. We also did a hike up to WaynaPiccu (the younger mountain). The hike was a crazy steep stone path that zigzaged up the mountain to the peak with awesome views of Machu Piccu, the mountains and the valley.
