    Hiking from Tambo Machay

    Posted by sturgess23 14 August 2007

    Take a taxi up to Tambo Machay and then walk down back to Cuzco through all the ruins to end up by the big statue.

    You don't need a guide - it'll take you all day - and there's food stalls on the way. We sheltered from the midday sun in one and drank beer and watched football.

    Govinda

    Posted by MillaKontkanen 13 August 2007

    Hare Krishna-run Govinda vegetarian restaurants are found all over Peru.

    Vegetarians do not get surprise meat on their plates, and for £1 per set meal, budget travelers will have difficulty finding a cheaper place to fill their tummies.

    Lima: Schell 634, Miraflores / Jirón Callao 480, central Lima.
    Cuzco: Espaderos 128.
    Arequipa: Jerusalen 505
    Puno: Deustua 312.
    And in other cities in Peru.

    The famous Inca trail to Machu Picchu is both expensive and difficult to book beforehand. Rather than taking the train to Aguas Calientes it's possible walk an alternative route. Take an eight-hour bus to Santa Maria and hire the services of local guides Lorenzo or Johan. They'll take you to Santa Teresa, stopping at beautiful hot springs on the way. On day two you can walk to Aguas Calientes. After visiting Machu Picchu it's possible to take a one-way train back to Cuzco or walk back to Santa Teresa and then catch a bus to Santa Maria before returning on the bus to Cuzco. This route requires more time, but is very friendly on the wallet.
