Despite its small size, this little town in the Machu Picchu district has a lot to offer visiting tourists! It has the feeling of stepping back into another time because of the lack of roads in and out of Aguas Calientes. Visitors have to arrive on foot or by train, giving them the opportunity to see some truly magical scenic views.
Because it is so small, visitors typically only spend only one or two nights here, but it is well worth staying longer. While Machu Picchu is certainly a world wonder and a must-see in Peru, Aguas Calientes is also home to many other attractions that are equally impressive.
