trains

Basically, the train station is in the hotel. $300+ per person is ridiculous. I would reccomend getting a ride to Ollanta and take the train from there- there should be more trains.

I know it's the Autovagon 601 there and the Vistadome 304 back which costs roughly USD60 each way. The tour company @ the hotel is trying to charge me $300+ per person for train tickets and an entrance ticket which I think is a rip off. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations about a day tour to MP from this hotel?
Any advice is greatly aprpeciated.

Thanks
