Chapter 836: As long as there is money
Here, Tia saw that there were about two or three thousand dollars, and Zhang Nan had already taken a glass of champagne and walked to the carriage in front of her.
The service and meals on the train are free, and the wool is out of the sheep, and the ticket price is 380.
But since it's fun to have fun, it's normal to tip a little, so let the people in the lead take it personally.
As the train moves forward, the altitude is getting lower and lower, but the mountains and rivers are becoming more and more steep.
Finally arrived at the terminal, the small city of Aguascalienste, the "hot spring town" in the mouth of foreign tourists Zhang Nan does not know, the name is said to be because it collides with the name of a certain state in Mexico, and Mexico's "twin brother" hot spring resources are abundant.
Preparing to get out of the car, seeing that Tia Rioni was going to carry her hiking bag, Zhang Nan said, "Have you booked a hotel?"
Before anyone could answer, Zhang Nan immediately discovered his speech problem, and then said: "When I didn't say it, you looked like you were going to war just now."
Come with us and live on top of the hill. ”
Of course, Tia Rioni agreed, she guessed that it was impossible for Zhang Nan to go to the tent, and there was a hotel near the top of the mountain where Machu Picchu was located, which was very small, famous, super expensive, and ridiculously expensive!
Seeing the girl nodding, Zhang Nan gestured, and Jacob, who was waiting on the side, took Tia's backpack with his hand, and the group got off the train and left the small train station.
The city of Aguascaliense is a small town that is more like a small town, nestled between mountains, with high mountains on both sides and fresh air.
On one side of the Urubamba River, there are hotels of various grades everywhere, and there are many high-end ones. As you exit the station, you can see many European and American tourists in front of the shops selling local products on both sides of the street, some of whom have already hung Indian clothes and accessories.
Machu Picchu is the ultimate destination for many tourists to South America, where there are many tourists and the prices are certainly not cheap. When a scenic spot is well-known all over the world and there is never a shortage of tourists, it will only cause too many headaches for people, and the scenic spot does not need to rip off customers at all, because no matter what price you say, the price is "reasonable".
Machu Picchu is just a few kilometers away at the top of the mountain, about 300 meters higher than here, but the most spectacular view of Machu Picchu is not here, but on the west side of the area.
After the Urubamba River circles the Vajna Peak, the valley on the west side and Machu Picchu on the top of the head drop is more than 500 meters, nearly 600 meters!
After getting off the train, visitors generally choose to check into a hotel in the hot spring town and walk up the hill, which takes more than an hour. Or take a short shuttle bus to the Machu Picchu scenic area, which is much less labor-saving.
At more than 2,000 elevations, climbing up can be a strenuous task, especially for those who are older and less exercised.
This is the choice of most tourists, and as for backpackers like Tia Rioni, many choose to stay in a tent on their backs: not only because of personal travel preferences, but also because of money: the price of a room in a hotel in a spa town is no less than $100!
Expensive!
$100 is not a small amount for a backpacker on a budget, especially if you have been robbed once by a "cheap train ticket" and have to be robbed again on the way back.
Oh, the shuttle bus ticket costs $10, and the entrance fee to the scenic spot costs 40...
You need money everywhere, so don't think about saving money, you can't take the train that the locals take, and don't think that other places can accommodate you.
Zhang Nan is a national VIP in Peru, and he doesn't live in a small town, two medium-sized buses are already waiting at the entrance of the station, and there are local reception staff and tour guides, so he set off by car.
The personnel of the Ministry of Mining who accompanied him before arrived here, and they no longer went up the mountain together Zhang Nan is not the master of some officials, and he likes a group of local reception staff to hug him when he goes to a place.
"I'm here to play. ”
People have their own preferences, Peruvians will not die and do not let go of the mining negotiations have ended, and the next bridging work, Zhang Nan, the boss will not interfere at all, Peruvians are to deal with those really knowledgeable and difficult American mining experts and senior officials.
That's it for the Ministry of Mines, and I'll hand it over to the Ministry of Tourism.
There are no leaders and officials, and it just looks like a normal tour.
More than 3 billion, the contract has been signed, and the money has not yet arrived!
If you can arrive a day earlier, you can come a day earlier, just follow this wayward American tycoon, and the representatives of the Ministry of Mines live in the town as a vacation.
As for the scenic spot at the top of the mountain, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Mines have been there a long time ago.
got rid of the Peruvian officials, and felt a lot better, Zhang Nan didn't talk to the other party before, and he looked like he was ignoring it.
It's not good to be too familiar with the other party, and those people have already gained enough benefits in that transaction.
The tour guide in the car here did not wear the Indian clothes of 5 centuries ago, otherwise Zhang Nan would have to complain again. The tour guide is dressed in a female uniform, very capable, and fluent in American English.
For the sake of the guests, I will remind you that from the beginning of the evening, especially at night, it will be very cold on the top of this Machu Picchu, so you need to wear more clothes.
In addition, although it is considered to be the rainy season at present, it will rain in this area at any time, so it is best to bring rain gear when you go hiking.
Some safety tips are not to prevent thieves, even if there are thieves, they will not provoke this gang of guys who are not easy to mess with at first glance. But there are cliffs everywhere, and you should pay attention to travel safety, especially when you go out for a walk at night...
Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan sat in another car, and this will be Tiana Rioni next to Zhang Nan.
This will feel something, whether it is a tour or a treasure hunt of a top-secret nature, you should bring a woman out, and it will feel much better.
It's always a bunch of old men mixed together, two days ago Zhang Nan wanted to give the flight attendant on his private jet to the fork This body is only in his 20s, and it is the time when he is full of energy.
It feels so much better to have a woman around.
chatting with Tia about Machu Picchu and the Inca Empire, this girl obviously knew a lot about this before she came, and Zhang Nan felt that talking to her was much more pleasant than listening to the tour guide "bragging" to tourists I don't know how many times.
What is the miracle in the history of world architecture, the great project of antiquity... All blocks compared the Great Wall of China with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
After crossing the river, the bus passed through 13 consecutive hairpin bends like acrobatics, and you were able to see Machu Picchu and arrive at the hotel you were going to stay in.
The Belmond Haven Hotel, a small-looking, two-storey building, had previously been fully owned by the Peruvian Ministry of Mines.
The tourist season hasn't really started yet, and with the average guest only staying here for one night, it's not too difficult to secure a hotel, as long as you have enough money.
