6/22-6/25 Stop #3: Cusco, Aguas Calientes (Peru)
We were totally unprepared for how cold Cusco was! We all bought alpaca sweaters and huddled in little restaurants to keep warm. Fortunately, we were only planning to spend two nights there.
Surprisingly, just a 4 hour train ride away, in Aguas Calientes, it was sunny and warm. We couldn't believe we were only 20 min from Machu Picchu! We were almost to the culmination of our trip!

| The train to M.P. had Andean music and served coca tea for altitude sickness |
 |
| View from the train; they had to drive backwards through switchbacks for a while to get through the mountains |
 |
| Soda the color of gold--get it? |

| Aguas Calientes: tourist town and gateway to Machu Picchu |
