Return to Cusco

Our train departed promptly at 4.45pm.  There is no Vistadrome carriage on the return journey, so we remained in our allocated seats.  We were served a similar snack box to yesterday.  For entertainment, we had a dancer and a bizarre fashion show put on by the PeruRail crew!  It's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen!  I was so shocked, I didn’t even take any photos!

We disembarked in Ollantaytambo, where we were met by yet another representative of the tour company and transferred back to Cusco by minibus.  It was dark by now and very hot in the vehicle.  I felt very sick but managed not to be!

Back at the Pariwana Hostel, we checked in again, picked up our bags from storage, and retired for the night.  It had been a great trip - one to remember for years to come.Read more
