Thanks for the info. My boyfriend and I are looking at hiking the Incan trail and are vegan, I was hoping you did the same when I found your page, but I’ll keep looking for info. It’s good to know about the food situation there and the hot springs! Yikes.

Can you buy return train tickets in advance so you don’t have to wait in line each morning?

I just found your blog, and its wonderful! I am a vegetarian and I spend countless hours trying to plan my food before any trip. Your blog is a wonderful resource for people like me. Keep up the awesome work!

What a great post. I plan to go to Machu Picchu this year but I’m concerned about the food since I’m also a vegan, do you remember any other restaurants in Cuzco that had vegan options? I’m even thinking of bringing like a dozen cans of black beans or something.

I was just at Govinda’s during my trip last week—it is still open and my vegan lomo saltado was delish!

I wanted to say that y boyfriend and I did this exact trip as backpackers last year and we are both Vegan too. I just wanted to say that missing Govinda was not a bad thing. We actually found nothing appealing on the menu, everything was overpriced and not at all vegan oriented. We ended up going to a cheaper Chinese place on the other side of the bridge where they made us some Vegan fried rice for 6 or 7 soles.

The town is being improved now. Before people had no sense how to build their houses and they were crazy about the money.

In the last years Machupicchu’s town has changed but it requires lots of things yet. By the way, food and stuffs get expensiver here because everything come by train and that has a cost.

On the other hand, i agree El Mapi has a nice restaurant. I like to eat there whenever my husband and i can.

Anyway, there are some others nice points in Machupicchu town maybe if u back in some years you’ll change ur mind about my town(:

I did hike the Inca Trail and did it with a company called Peru Treks. They were fantastic about making vegan food for me on the trail, serving up three-, four- and even five-course gourmet meals. They put a lot of care into making sure I had fresh, filling and healthy food to eat, which did wonders for keeping my energy up during the trek.

I also never felt like I missed out on anything — when the others had lomo saltado, I had lomo soytado; when they had pasta with cheese, I had pasta with grilled veggies; etc.

I’ve had a lot of good meals so far in Peru, but none of it compares with the awesome vegan grub from the hike!

@Andrea Eeek! Coca sounds awesome. I guess there’s always comfort in knowing there are worse places to be stuck :)

@veganlisa – Ewwww bedbugs sound awful. We were pretty lucky with accommodations in most places we visited. There was only one time when John found ants in his bed. That was in Punta del Diablo, Uruguya.
