View so much better than we expected. The trip was made more interesting with the history of the Incas & Peru in general. Food and customs was explained in details for a better understanding of the culture of the Peruvian, especially the Incas. The heat was bearable once we were in the Valley & the higher altitude of Machu Pichu. The train ride was an experience and seeing how small gathering of people living the way they do beside the track is remarkable. Very rewarding trip.
