With Mark a little pale but recovered from the guinea pig experience, we left in a hotel van for our road trip to Cuzco. Luis, his colleague Adrian and the driver accompanied us on the trip. It was a beautiful drive north along the Andes mountains, in between the Black Range (Cordillera Negra) and White Range (Cordillera Blanca). Most of the road to Cuzco is through a beautiful valley wedged between these mountain ranges with snow peaks. We made it safely to the El Libertador Hotel in Cuzco where we had lunch and waited for the Viajes Pacifico Tours folks to pick us up to take us to Ollantaytambo. We left our heavy luggage at the hotel and traveled with backpacks only. We are glad we did because the luggage space in the Machu Picchu train is the size of a shoebox.
