Our Train Ride to Machu Pichu

Mahalo Chicos,

Our train ride to Agua’s Calente-which is a short bus ride to Machu Pichu- is our next leg of the journey to reach Machu Pichu. Although the actual train ride its self took four hours to get there and seven grueling hours to get back it was worth the trip.

We were seated at the Vista Dome section-where one can view the landscape and jungle-. Considering the actual movement of the train ride, I did pretty well. 

The waiters provided drinks and snacks. We tried to stay on our vegetarian diets so we opted out of the ham and cheese, but took tea instead.

The views of the water were spectacular. Considering the temperature must have been freezing, it looked cool and inviting. The rock formations were also amazing- its as if it were a pretty painted picture-.

Once we arrived at Agua’s Calente we were directed to walk through the numerous amounts of merchant stands and then await to ride a bus to Machu Pichu. It only took a mere ten mintues or so to get to the top of Machu Pichu. I’ve heard from some people that the bus ride is dangerous and frightening. As for me, I did not have a care in the world as my eyes were set on Machu Pich-one of the greatest man made wonders of the world-.

As soon as I saw peek of Machu Pichu my stomache started to do jumps. I could not believe that my other half and I were share this moment together. It was wonderful.

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
