We walk for three hours to Aguas Calients. The streets are empty…not filled with the usual load of tourists to see Machu Picchu daily. Jose discovers Cusco is on strike. No cars, buses or trains are running out of the city to neighboring areas. The only way in and out of Aguas Calientes is by foot from Santa Teresa (the way we arrived) or by train. This means that today, Machu Picchu will be mostly empty for us to enjoy touring, but tomorrow we will have no train back to Cusco. The only way out will be to walk along the train tracks to the next town, Ollantaytambo. We may be able to catch a van or taxi if some drivers decide to pick up travelers. It will be a 20 mile walk to Ollantaytambo, with all of our bags.
