Machu Picchu Has Returned

Peru lovers rejoice! The famed Incan ruins are once again open to the public, thanks to partial train service from Piscacucho (Cusco visitors can take a short bus ride to the Piscacucho train station). Though the Vistadome will run the full length of the dramatically scenic route from Cusco in May, the elegant Orient-Express Hiram Bingham train will not begin operating until July. Hardier types can always travel the 25-mile Inca Trail on foot.
