Aguas Calientes

Nestled in a valley of cloud forest, Aguas Calientes serves as the gateway town to Peru’s famous Incan ruins, Machu Picchu. The town derives its name from the natural hot springs that bubble up in the area. Visitors can explore the small pueblo, which is often a stopover for those en route to or from the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, travelers can enjoy the soothing waters of the hot springs and the lush, misty surroundings before continuing their journey to the ancient citadel.
