The next morning we traveled by train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes. It was a 4 hour train ride, but we had such beautiful scenery on the way so it didn't seem to take that long. For the next two days, we stayed in Aguas Calientes so we could go up to see Machu Picchu! One of the most AMAZING places I have ever seen!! It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

The plan was to tour Machu Picchu the first day and then hang out and relax in Aguas Calientes, stay the night, then wake up and go up to see Machu Picchu early the next morning when the clouds were low and climb Machu Picchu Mountain.

This blog post is Day 1 in Machu Picchu.

On the train and ready to go see The Lost City of the Incas!

Below are just some of the photos that I took during our train ride to Aguas Calientes.

Below are photos from Day 1 in Machu Picchu

It was scary going up and scary looking down, but it was so BEAUTIFUL!!

I hope you enjoy the photos........

Love this photo! It was VERY scary taking it, but worth it!!!

I am afraid of heights, but I just had to do this. After photo was taken, I scoot my way back and then crawled a little before I got back up. haha!

Ric and I both wanted to bring an Alpaca back home with us. They are so cute and sweet!

After spending half the day up in Machu Picchu, we went back to our hotel freshened up and walked around the city of Aguas Calienties. We ate dinner, found a good dessert/coffee shop and relaxed while watching a few parades go by. Then we walked around some more and then ate some more before we called it a night!! LOL! :)

Below is photo of a Peruvian dog! We ran in to him while walking around the town. It's so ugly, but cute!! Wanted to bring him home, too!

A little fiesta going on!

Hope you enjoyed Day 1 of "The Lost City of the Incas"
