JOURNEY
Five kilometres beyond
Pachar, is the village of
Ollantaytambo, here, farmers work with the same patience and skill that
their ancestors must have employed to shape and then move the huge blocks of
stone with which they built both their homes and the temples in which they
worshipped.
As the train leaves
Ollantaytambo to begin the last part of its journey to
Machu
Picchu, the temple complex known as The Fortress, dedicated sometime in
the 15th century to the many deities of the Inca pantheon, can be seen to the
right above the earthwork ramp once used to drag its monolithic blocks up from
the valley floor.
The railway follows the
river into the Urubamba Gorge. At Coriwaynachina, known simply to the
generations of hikers who have begun the Inca Trail there as Km 88, a fine
staircase carved into the rock leads to a series of ruined buildings where once,
it is said, Inca artisans took advantage of the constant wind that rises from
the valley floor to smelt gold.
Emerging from a short
tunnel, a series of beautiful agricultural terraces marks the ruins of Qente,
which in Quechua means hummingbird. In this fertile microclimate fed by a nearby
waterfall, giant hummingbirds are indeed a common sight in the early morning and
bright flowers bloom all year round.
Surrounded by tall ceibos
and rocky outcrops hung with orchids and bromeliads, the train passes Km 104 at
Chachabamba, from where the one-day trek to Machu Picchu via the magnificent
ruins of Wiñay Wayna begins.
The train arrives at Machu
Picchu Town. Surrounded by the high, green mountains that cradle the famous lost
city, as well as myriad other Inca remains, this small town, which is well known
for its thermal baths, has blossomed into a popular overnight destination for
travelers to Machu Picchu.
