Peru sightseeing - One of my goals in life is to visit the seven wonders of the world. This place worth the money and vacation time to visit. My wife and I decided to visit Machu Picchu doing the beginning of the rainy season in January with less tourist and the usual clearing of the clouds in the morning. Getting to Machu Picchu is expensive and somewhat convoluted -taxi, bus, train and finally a bus. I suggest the earliest transportation from Cusco vice the stay overnight in Aguas Caliente and bring a poncho, a snack and some water. Take the Peru Rail Visitdome train vice the Inka rail company because of the Visit-dome’s extended windows for outstanding environmental views. There were less people to walk the Inka ruins at 2,400 feet at a leisurely pace. I suggest you book your visit in advance with a tourist agency because the site limits the number visitors each day. Ask for Franklin as your guide because he is a proud Peruvian history major. He gave us a realistic history lesson on the Spanish conquistadors, the Inka rulers and the other Indian tribes of Peru as well as explained the various sites at the ruin.
