Riding on Peru Rail
Aguas Calientes Craft Market – Fun place to shop!
Aguas Calientes – The Spa!
On Saturday, we took a bus to Ollyantaytambo and then we road on the Peru Rail to Aguas Calientes. We visited the hot springs, went shopping, and had a nice relaxing evening.
Brenda and I were amped up to do the Sacred Valley Tour. We had both heard fascinating things about this region. The night before, we secured a private tour with Glacial Travel who put together a custom itinerary.
The plan was to start out in Cusco, stopping at Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary, Awana Kancha (Palace of the Weaver), Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and then Chinchero.
For a reasonable fee, we got an awesome English speaking guide, Daniel (see his picture above!), and our own driver, Maestro. The concierge attendent at our hotel, Joseph, also came along as he was training to become a tour guide.
