We took the night train into Aguas Calientas, the town that’s at the foot of Machu Picchu. The surrounding area has few lights at night, so we didn’t see much on our trip to AG. We took a day train out of AG, and we were blown away by the tide. There are so many ruins you can catch quick glimpses of from the train car, some very close to the railroad itself. The amount of ruins in Peru is astonishing. And the scale of the Inca’s roads rivaling, and even besting, the road distance of the Romans is a stunning feat that I barely heard of before visiting Peru.
