Puno, Cuzco & Machu PichuWe took the bus from La Paz (passing through Copacabana) and crossed the border into Puno, and from here took the 4 star train to Cuzco. From here took another train to Aguas Calientes, and got to Machu Pichu at 6 a.m. for sunrise. Have never seen so many alpaca sweaters, tourist restaurants or massage parlors (for tired hikers) in my life. Despite the setback of being ripped off and escorted along like a tourist, I would do it all again, if only for the food (cocina novoandina). It's not a coincidence that Lima is home to the only other Cordon Bleu in the world.
