Train to Hot water Town in Machu Picchu

#travel Ouyan Terrace>Hot Water Town Observation Train. I have always heard that taking the observation train to Hot Water Town in Machu Picchu is necessary, and I have also watched many videos about this train. I have already filled my expectations. However, because the itinerary to Machu Picchu is included in the entire itinerary of the travel agency, I didn't bother to search for the guide of the small train at all, which left me with a bit of regret. 🚄 Small trains are not allowed to carry large luggage on board, so most people usually leave their luggage at hotels in San Diego/Cusco/Yuyantai and then take a small bag to Hot Water Town. But I also saw people getting off the train in Hot Water Town with luggage the size of a luggage box. When asked, I learned that I could pay the luggage fee on site and bring it on the train. 🚄 We are taking the Peru Rail shown in Figure 1, with the economy option for the outbound journey and the vistadome option for the return journey. However, there are actually more luxury options available, and we even have partnerships with Belmont Trains worldwide, including open bars, live music, and even Machu Picchu tickets. It is said to be an economical type, but because it is a train for tourists, it is still much more expensive than the train specially designed for locals, but it is understandable. 🚄 Sitting down will make you feel noticeably cramped and unable to stretch your legs and feet, while vistadome will be much more comfortable. But the overall travel time is only 1 hour and 40 minutes, which is not a big problem, and you can get up and walk around the carriage at any time. 🚄 Beverages and snacks from Expedition need to be purchased (Figure 2), which feels like the "melon seed beverage mineral water" on trains in China before. Vistadome is included in the fare. 🚄 But regardless of the type, it does not affect the viewing experience. But it should be noted that the car windows cannot be opened (only the small ventilation window between the large window and the sunroof can be opened), while the cars of another company, Inca Rail, seem to have windows that can be opened mostly, and the windows seem to be larger. 🚄 Along the way, you will follow the rushing Ulubamba River and see the scenery of mountains, rivers, terraces, and other landscapes on both sides. It is possible to see the local people carrying mules to transport goods up the mountain, which is a cultural style (Figure 3-8). 🚄 Figure 9 shows the platform where you get off at Hot Water Town, and after getting off, you need to pass through a maze like handicraft market to truly leave the train station. #travel #localguides #trip #familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides
