One possible explanation for the boom, besides obvious food quality, is international recognition.

6). Taking the Train from Cusco to Machu Picchu By : Charlotte De Patre
If you are the comfortable-type, train transport is the best option for travelling from Cusco to Machu Picchu. The other common alternative to reach the Lost City of the Incas, the strenuous Inca Trail, involves 3 days of hard trekking through a beautiful yet arduous landscape.
