After two nights and a day in Lima we flew to Cusco and then had a two-hour bus ride to Urubamba. This is a fairly typical view of the countryside which became more agricultural and hilly rather than mountainous, though we saw the Andes looming in the distance. We were on a comfortable bus with 22 other passengers, a driver who stayed with us for most of the tour and, of course, our tour guide, Pavel. In case I didn't mention it before, Pavel was excellent and he often reiterated that his middle name is "24/7" and we could call him at anytime on his cell. He stayed in all of the motels with us, too. On a few occasions we had a separate local guide and they were also very good. I highly recommend the Gate 1 tours--affordable and very well executed.
