So we entered the “worst month” of the rainy season with a gloriously sunny day, getting the slow train back to Ollantaytambo surrounded by excited gringos, and giving our hotly-contested patronage to a small colectivo back to Cusco, and our bags. It was a quiet evening of salad, wine and planning our next trip – a hike around the under-discovered ruins of Choquequirao, for what we expected would be an experience not unlike that which those hiking the Inca Trail in the 70s might have had.
As I write this we are deciding whether to take a tour or to go it alone (with a local guide), a difficult decision as there are pros and cons to both.
