We flew into Cusco from Peru, and we were both stricken with altitude sickness the moment the plane depressurized. A few cups of <em>coco te</em> and a great night's sleep in cusco really helped. We spent two full days in cusco before hitting the trail. As amazing a hike as the trail was...I cannot say enough for taking the train back to Cusco. Our experience on the train was very much like your observations on the bus: stops everywhere, where the locals would board with all sorts of animals, produce, packages...and just sit/stand where ever. At every single train stop, the locals would rush the windows selling snacks (goat cheese and flat bread, grilled alpaca, etc.) through the windows.
