Belangrijk stukje over de trein naar Machu Picchu:
**IMPORTANT UPDATE 2 JANUARY TO 15 APRIL 2012: **The direct trains from Cusco (Poroy) to Machu Picchu are temporarily cancelled from 2 January to 15 April 2012, or rather, will start from Ollantaytambo instead of Poroy, to reduce risk from landslides during the rainy season. The shuttle trains from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu are not affected and will run normally. Buses will replace the Poroy-Machu Picchu ‘Expedition’ and ‘Vistadome’ trains between Cusco Wanchaq bus station and Ollantaytambo, buses will replace the deluxe ‘Hirham Bingham’ between Cusco Wanchaq bus station and Orient Express’s Rio Sagrado Hotel in Urubamba, then onwards by train.
