Machu Picchu station

"After an incredibly scenic train ride that took about 3 hours, we made it to Aguas Calientes, which is the closest town to Machu Picchu. The station is literally surrounded by souvenir shops, but there are signs leading visitors through the narrow openings between merchants. I did have a very helpful station employee that let me borrow her phone to call the company that I booked my Machu Picchu entry ticket with. Without her, I more than likely would not have been able to change my passport information on my ticket which would have resulted in me being unable to enter the site and my trip being ruined. She was literally my hero! "
