Perurail: A Real-Life Choo Choo

Traveling around Peru was definitely a great experience. We walked through the cities, traveled by bus, but by far the most interesting travel experience for me was riding the train to get to Machu Picchu. Personally, I had never been on a passenger train that wasn’t a part of public transit so riding a train from one city to another was a pretty cool way to travel. The Perurail train route from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu winds through the mountainous terrain and traces the path of the raging waters of the Urumbama River, so the view from the train is spectacular.
