Travel to Machu Picchu -Perú. Ollantaytambo - AguasCalientes


I will continue with my travel to Perú on this input, with the issue that all want to see, Machu Picchu and waynapichu mountains, but also the beautiful small towns that you have to pass to go to there. 


Outside of Ollantaytambo station. The way to Machu Picchu is Cusco-Ollantaytambo- Aguas calientes- Machu Picchu.

After walk the whole day, I went to my Hostel to pass the night, it call it Labrador Hostel and cost me 25 dollars a single room with hot water and without TV. The Owner was so kind and tried to help me in anything I needed. The nexT day I had to wake up at 4 am in the morning to take the Van (small bus) that I paid to go to Ollataytambo. In that Van, I traveled with Russians people, spanish and an argentine couple.
Ollantaytambo Train station.


The train ticket is the most expensive thing traveling to Machu Pichu, the cheapest it cost about 50 dollars each one (one for go and one for comeback). There are Two trains companies, Peru rail (this one) and Inca Rail. Inca Rail is more cheaper and its the same service, you can buy the tickets by internet. 



The train station was very good, the bathroom superclean and you can buy coffee, cookies and more.


Waiting area beside the coffee shop.


After an one hour traveling by train. You arrive to Machu Picchu Pueblo, (Aguas Calientes).

Aguas calientes Train station.

Main square of Aguas Calientes
Aguas Calientes is a very beautiful small town, you can see the government have a policy about have this place ready for tourism, everything clean, everything safe. You can find all kind of restaurants and all kind of Hotels and hostels, since the cheapest ones to the luxuries ones.


The train pass trough the small town.
After Arrive and walk a little to the small town I bought the bus ticket to Machu Picchu. The view is awesome.


After 30 minutes by bus. You arrive to the park. I bought my ticket by internet so it was very easy to get in.


First you have to climbing like 10 minutes through stairs and it was only a taste of what I had to walk. If you want to rest on your vacations machu picchu is not for you. If you like open areas, air pure and a lot of exercise you are going to love this place.


This is me!! ( white t-shirt of course jeje).



Al the real tourism places have that "picture" that you can´t forget to take, for what you recognize that place. What is that picture of the tourism places in your country.?



The view is awesome!!!

The mountain in the back is Waynapichu, you can climb it but you have to buy the tickets by internet, only 200 tickets are for sale per day.

You can see people all over the world here.


Can you see the indigenous face on the mountains? 

On this part was the indegenous took the rocks and make their tools.

The goberment of Perú really know how to preserve this place for the tourism of all over the world.

This is a Vizcaya, the indigenous hunted it. 

The indigenous face!!!!
The rock in the back was made it by the indigenous and without the fog you can see the mountain who they take like reference. Was a shame i couldn't see it. Nothings is perfect.

The Door to Waynapichu, one of the most hardest thing I have done in my life!!!

The stairs are big and is dangerous too. I don't recommend it for very young or very old people. It's serious you can fall. But the felling is indescribable.

The cold is hard too. (Of course for me who live in a tropical country)

If you want to climb to the Top, you have to pass trough this cave, is impossible don´t hit you in the head, is very small. I did it.


I found this on the Top!! jejej German People you are crazy... really funny and unexpected. Excellent.

When I came down the mountain suddenly start to rain and I was so hungry that decided that was enough and I wanted to return to my hostel to have a hot shower and a good meal.



I know I know is not Peruvian food but I was starving!! at less I had Inka kola.. lol. and in that way i Finished another day. I will share more soon.!!
