    Tips

    Very easy hike over a good 10km along the railway line. If you want, you can also take the completely overpriced train. Along the way you can always catch a glimpse of Machu Picchu if you look carefully. There is no food, but we were there in the off-season.

        Nice flat walk from Hidroeléctrica to Machu Picchu or viceversa.
