[Sunday - January 25]
We traveled to Macchu Picchu via the Hiram Bingham train. It is beautifully appointed with wooden panels, brass details, fresh flowers and white linens and crystal for our brunch on the way to the site.
The train also has 2 bar/lounge cars - everyone's new favorite drink is the pisco sour - and a glass viewing car at the end.
The ride takes about 2 hours and follows the Urubamba River past sheer cliffs raising straight up from the river base. The rapids on the river are suicidal with standing waves and boulders the size of small cars. The sides of the mountains were covered with bromeliads and orchids along the way.
And this final photo is especially for Elizabeth and Sally -- train photos!! (I have lots more, if you like this one....>smile<)
