Aguas Calientes Attractions
|
|
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu and the stopping point for the train to Machu Picchu. Although the town is not much to speak of, the setting here is magnificent. Aguas Calientes lies in the valley below Machu Picchu and is situated along the roaring Rio Urubamba where it intersects with the Rio Aguas Calientes. Being at a much lower altitude than Cusco and the Sacred Valley, this area is very lush and tropical with green mountains surrounding the town.
The architecture in Aguas Calientes is relatively modern and consists of drab, brick buildings rather than colonial architecture.
