Machu Picchu, a place worth visiting a second time

Peru | Machu Picchu | The Lost Inca Civilization To be honest, my expectations were not high. I read a lot of posts before coming here, so I was mentally prepared. In addition, it is really troublesome to go to this place. You have to join a one-day tour, departing from Cusco at 6:50 in the morning, and take about 2 hours to reach the Sacred Valley. There will be many shabby and strange consumption spots and attractions on the way: Demonstrating alpaca wool textile technology and salt-making technology in salt fields, Please note: You need to prepare a ticket for the salt fields here for 20 soles per person, and the tickets for Ouarzazate and the Sacred Valley together are 70 soles per person, so you basically need to prepare them yourself. Of course, I bargained for the price and let the agency take care of it for me. There is a buffet lunch at noon, and to be honest, the taste is not bad and it is edible. By the time you get to Ouyangtai, it will be around 2pm. You will be allowed to visit on your own and then take a train to Machu Picchu. Ouyantai is only a 10-minute walk from the train station, very close. Our train leaves at 4:30pm. We recommend that you buy the incarail voyager. The overall quality is good, with a very local welcome ceremony. The train attendants also have to perform multiple duties. They first put on national costumes to perform a love story for you, and then put on aprons to sell you drinks. The whole journey takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, traveling through the jungle and rapids, with nice scenery. I slept through half of the journey (I was really tired), and arrived at Machu Picchu at 6:50pm. Someone from the hotel will hold a small sign with your name on it and take you to the hotel to check in. Don't have any illusions about the hotel in Machu Picchu, it's just a guesthouse for sleeping. The Machu Picchu tickets we bought were for the 8 a.m. session. The next morning, the private guide we booked would pick us up at the lobby at 6:50 and take us to the bus station to queue up for the bus. There were a lot of cars, so the team moved forward very quickly. At this time, you will see many guides wearing blue vests frantically recommending themselves. If you haven't booked a private guide in advance, you can consider looking for one at this time. The basic average price is US$100 per person. It was already 7:30 when we got to the queue. It is recommended to sit on the right side of the bus's direction of travel for a better view. The whole road is winding mountain road, which is quite interesting. We arrived at the gate at exactly 8 o'clock, and there was a toilet at the door. 2 Thor is alone. You must go because there is absolutely no toilet inside. We didn't go for circuit 2, but chose line 3 instead. To be honest, the check-in point is the same as line 2, but it's a little closer. And this is also the only place where you can see the palace (just a few dilapidated houses). but! We were super lucky, the weather was amazing, the guide said we were experiencing winter weather like theirs, so he kept taking us to take photos at some classic places. The whole journey takes about 2 hours and it is not difficult to walk.
