It is kind of confusing about where to go after you cross the big steel bridge that leads to Hydroelectrica. The road ends abruptly after the bridge. Make sure you keep driving straight passing the first set of railroad tracks and go up the large hill to where the second set of tracks is. It is a good idea to walk up that large hill first and plan your route because it was a fairly challenging bit to get to the police station.

Thx Gato,
Did you ride your bike to agua calientes? Could one ride all the way into town? If one got their bike to town, could you then ride up to Machu Pichu? I would want to spend several days, riding up each morning.
