Magical Peru #24: Aguas Calientes
Watch our train trip from Cusco to Aguas Calientes:
Lets go for a walk around Aguas Calientes, the small town which gives access to Machu Pichu!
Aguas Calientes, cuyo verdadero nombre es Machu Picchu pueblo, tiene un origen que se remonta al año 1901. Por su localización geográfica, a escasos 30 minutos en autobús de Machu Picchu, es el lugar a donde llegan los turistas que visitan la ciudad sagrada indígena de Machu Picchu. Aguas Calientes es la última estación del tren que sale desde el Cusco. El pueblo ha desarrollado una infraestructura turística y hotelera a todo nivel. Entre los atractivos turísticos más importantes de Aguas Calientes se encuentran los baños termales situados a 800 m del pueblo.
When we first arrived in Peru, we spent a couple of weeks studying Spanish in Lima (please watch the vlog Living in Lima) then we headed to the North of Peru and visited Trujillo, Chiclayo and some archaeological sites, such as tombs, pyramids and ancient cities. On the South of Peru, our first stop was in Arequipa, and then we headed to Chivay and its thermal pools (La Calera hot springs) and the Colca Canyon, to do a canyon tour. Now, we go to the country side: Puno, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Machu Pichu and so on...
-- Brasileiro no Peru --
Após passar algumas semanas apenas em Lima estudando espanhol e conhecendo o que a capital peruana tem a oferecer, nós partimos para explorar o país. Começando pela região Norte, fomos até Trujillo, Chiclayo, Huanchaco, Huacas del Sol e de la Luna, Chan Chan e o sítio arqueológico da Tumba do Lorde Sipán. Depois, descemos pelo Sul do Perú, em lugares como Arequipa, Chivay, Cânion de Colca, Puno e Lago Titicaca, e terminamos nossa jornada no interior, em Cusco, no Vale Sagrado e em Machu Pichu.

How to get from Cusco to Aguas Calientes to visit Machu Picchu Peru on a budget!
Today Chantal reminisces about our visit to one of the Wonders of the World - Machu Picchu, Peru. The lost city of the Incas, also known as the Old Mountain, is a 15th-century site located 2,430 meters above sea level.
The land of the great Incan Empire is known for it's high elevations and breathtaking views which definitely gave us a fright a few times along the road.
Most tourists that visit Machu Picchu take a train to the famous Inca ruins, but some with a more adventurous streak choose to hike. We kinda did both. :)
We came from Bolivia and took a bus ride to Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. Once we arrived there we encountered overpriced tours and that's why we decided to take an alternative and cheaper route.
Basically our itinerary looked something like this
1) We got from Cusco to Santa Maria by bus
2) Then from Santa Maria we got to Hidroeléctrica in a taxi
3) Finally, from Hidroeléctrica we got to Aguas Calientes on a 30 minute train-ride
4) We stayed the night there so we could be one of the first ones up
5) On the way back we decided to walk down and back along the railroad tracks to Hidroeléctrica. (you can pay to send only your luggage on the train which is what we did)
6) We got back to Cusco in a packed minivan.

Machu Picchu Town - Aguas Calientes , Peru
Visit to check out great information about mysterious and fantastic places on earth. Aguas Calientes (Meaning 'Hot Springs' in spanish) is the closest access point to Machu Picchu. It is about an hour and a half walking distance to the historical site and has been destroyed a few times by floods, but rebuilt. It is a completely pedestrian town, ie., no cars, taxis, or other motor vehicles are allowed here. The only travel mechanisms are buses, trains and helicopters. In the video, you can see the flowing Urubamba (Vilcanota) River, friendly street dogs and children playing on railway tracks. For more information, go to Follow Me on:

Hikes & Things to do in Cusco, Peru (incl. Machu Picchu, Lares Trek, Rainbow Mt, Humantay…)
I show you some of the best things to do in Cusco and the Cusco region with its many Inca sites and beautiful multi day treks in this episode from Peru in partnership with G Adventures.

MY CAMERA EQUIPMENT

▸ Cam2:Sony A7 II
▸ Joby Gorillapod
▸ Audio Recorder: Zoom H2n
▸ SDHC Memory Card
▸ Waterproof Memory Card Case
▸ Backpack Osprey Farpoint 40
To produce this video I spent almost 2 weeks in the Cusco region in order to provide a wide selection of activities I recommend doing on your trip to Peru. Because it was my second time after my first visit in 2012 I chose to introduce an alternative Machu Picchu experience with the Lares Trek - for this part I worked together with G Adventures and decided to extend my stay to do all the other things independently.
Cusco and the area around is full of history and beautiful landscape which makes it worth it to spend about 1-2 weeks in the region. For your time you should definitely take on some day hikes or go for one of the multi day hikes which end up taking you to Machu Picchu. What many don’t know: a multi day hike to go to Machu Picchu is the most budget friendly option if you look at the price-value ratio!
The things to do in Cusco I covered here is a selection of my personal favorites and offers a good mix of historic sites, hikes (partially in very high altitude), food experiences and panoramic views which will leave you speechless. Moreover I also focussed on some community projects which are connected to G Adventures and their NGO Planeterra.
Things to do in Cusco featured in this episode:
- Old town of Cusco / Cuzco
- Saksaywaman / Sacsayhuaman
- La Cusquenita (restaurant)
- Barrio San Blas
- Barrio Ceviche (restaurant)
- San Pedro market
- Jack’s Cafe (restaurant)
- Rainbow mountain / Vinicunca
- Sacred Valley (part of G Adventures Lares Trek tour)
- Pisaq
- Ollantaytambo
- Parwa restaurant
- Lares trek
- train to Aguas Calientes
- Machu Picchu
- Humantay lake (first day of Salkantay trek)
About my Cooperation with G Adventures
For many years I was searching for a suitable partner who offers tours in South America which align with my style of traveling as well as my values. After many meetings I’m glad I found this partner with G Adventures who offer many adventurous tour packages for travelers like me…but who also care about the environment and local communities in order to execute sustainable tourism. I forced this cooperation because I like the products and the philosophy of the company. Nevertheless all opinions, recommendations and views are my own.
