We've been lucky with the weather so far. In fact, I'd say it was ideal - no rain, t-shirt warm during the day and fleece-cool in the evening. However, my luck ran out 20 minutes into the train journey back from Machu Picchu when the aircon on the train started leaking just above my seat. A few drops at first that soon turned into a flood.
The train guard's best effort was to wedge paper towels against the grill - this lasted all of 5 minutes. Things weren't looking good but fellow travellers came up with a plastic poncho and some tape and we rigged a heath robinson fix that guided the water away from me. The kindness of strangers wins out - luckily for me as the guard said that there wasn't a single free seat on the whole train.
