Along the Tracks

A group of people next to train tracks through a forest with some blue carriages on them To finally get to Machu Picchu, we followed the train tracks to the same destination through the high jungle.

A small shop with colourful decoration and a peruvian flag next to train tracks in the jungle Luckily for our little hiking group, this cute café with delicious fruits, freshly backed goods and - most importantly - a roof appeared just as the rain started to pour.

A river through a steep, overgrown canyon with some buildings visible in the background Eventually we reached the small but very touristy town of Aguas Calientes in a stunning valley.
