Not been able to post an update since I landed in Lima.
I flew straight out the next morning to Cusco, then a taxi and a local minibus to Ollantaytambo, where I caught the train to Agua Calientes, just below Machu Picchu. Stayed overnight by the railway tracks, then caught the bus up to Machu Picchu for dawn. Back to Cusco the same day on the slightly nicer explorer train. Then today I caught the tourist bus to Puno, by Lake Titikaka, passing over La Raya pass at 14,750 feet. They had to turn the bus´s airconditioning off just so it could make the climb.
Tomorrow I´m off around the lake, then back to Lima, via Cusco, to meet up with my Earthwatch group on the 28th.
