Taking a moto to Agua Calientes....
I am heading back to Cusco to to take my Falcon for a ride. I am wondering about taking my bike up to Agua Calientes.
If I take the ride to the power station (outlined here Macchu Picchu - not paying the train - The HUBB ), can I take the railroad tracks the rest of the way to town or would I be thwarted by the old footbridge? If so, I'd be more inclined to try to arrange fair for me and my bike on the train, if possible.
My idea is this. I'd like to do an fairly intensive photo study of the ruins. I am theorizing that if I had my bike in Agua C, then I could get a room arise early and ride my bike up to photograph the ruins before other tourists arrive. I also get the impression that if I wait until after 2:00 pm, I will have the ruins to myself & could simply ride down to AC after dark & spend the night, allowing for evening golden light. I thought I might spend about 3 or 4 days in this endeavor.
Does this scheme seem plausible? Would my photo ops be significantly enhanced by doing it this way? All opinions appreciated.
