Because of the lack of time and money, we decided to take the PeruRail train to Machu Picchu. The train took off from Poroy station by Cuzco at around 730am. It takes about 4 and a half hours to get to Machu Picchu Pueblo, or previously known as Aguas Calientes. The views from the train are breathtaking. Mountains hidden by mountains and terraces full with crops for fruits and vegetables. Along the way you also get to see some Inca ruins on both sides of the train. It really is an unforgettable experience that every person should do sometime in their life.

Around noon we reached Aguas Calientes, a tiny touristy town 20 minutes away from Machu Picchu. We ate some awesome Peruvian Mexican food and got everything settled for the hike up to the Machu Picchu ruins tomorrow.
