This is the ticket pamphlet for the trip to Machu Pichu from Cusco in 1978. The first part of the trip was somewhat subdued as we climb out of the valley. The train had to take many switchbacks and it looked pretty scary at times. It was also fun to see the artifacts that the Incans had on their homes, and the roof style, with tiles. It was a great trip as we had tour guides who provided instruction during the train ride. This included pointing out many Inca constructions along the route, large boulders that hat been put into the river to create a place down stream for a bridge etc., terraces on the hills. He also talked about the diet of the Inca. This included many varieties of the potato. The trip included such amenities as a box lunch. We also had a tour guide at the ruins. As a group we left the English speaking guide (his English was poor) and went with the Spanish speaking guide. There was als some time to explore on your own, and we hiked to the top os a peak (not Machu Pichu, but a smaller peak. It was incredible.
