At Machu Picchu Pueblo a member of the staff meets you and puts you on the bus that winds uphill, with the Urubamba River far below in its canyon. Inside the citadel, a local guide who speaks Spanish and English leads you past terraces, old staircases and ceremonial sites, such as the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Three Windows, and tells the stories and legends behind them. At the end of the day the train takes you back.
