So I made it to Machu Picchu and it was amazingly grand. I arrived by train to Aguas Caliente on the 6th of August. I soon realized that once I had arrived that I would need more time and decided to stay the night at the Super tramp hostal there. I met a Parisian there at the hostal and we decided to make the trek up to Machu Picchu the next day. We woke up at 4:30am to get started and the owner of the hostal fried some eggs.
Over 2000 visitors trek to see Machu Picchu a day, but I believe only 10% actually hike all the way to the top. Buses are constantly going up and down the mountain taking tourists. I feel you truly miss something though if you do not walk through the selva (jungles) to reach the enchanting city.
