Cusco to Macchu Picchu

Note: This article was first written and published in February 2002 in my Sri Lanka Railway site. Given the passage of ten years, it needs to be read as a historical document.

 This is another rather 'touristy' but nevertheless a spectacular and enjoyable rail journey.

The railway line from Cusco ascends through a series of switchbacks and then descends to follow the course of the Urubamba River through The Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Note: This article was first written and published on the 26^th of February 2002 in my Sri Lanka Railway site. Given the passage of ten years, it needs to be read as a historical document. The Peruvian Railway system is no longer the highest railway in the world.

T

he Peruvian Railway System is the highest standard guage railway system in the world. (The Lima-Huancayo-Huancavelica line). Unfortunately terrorist activity has forced the closure of the most spectacular part of it. What remains is spectacular in some ways, or at least interesting.

The author travelled on PeruRail from Cusco to Juliaca on the 19th of Jan 2002 (and then on to Puno).
