Our visit to Machu Pichu began with a 4-hour trek along the train tracks to the town of Aguas Calientes, where we stayed in hostel that, ironically, had no hot water.
The next morning we all awoke at 3:30 AM for the trip up the mountain. Stav and Joel ascended by stairs - 1,900 stairs, to be exact, arriving at 6:30, just as Dorit and the other kids got there by bus.
