Aguas Calientes, Peru

After a quick sleep in Cusco, we headed to the train station for our four hour journey on the Machu Picchu VistaDome train, which took us to Aguas Calientes, the town at the base of Machu Picchu. It was a lovely, very comfortable, journey through the Sacred Valley, with dozens of beautiful picture postcard moments. We arrived in Aguas Calientes at 10:00AM, found our hostal and rooms, with views of the roaring Rio Vilcanota.

Hostal Continental
Av. Imperio de los Incas 165
Aguas Calientes, Peru
Tel. 211065

That afternoon we went to the hot springs, located just outside of town, to warm up and relax before our big day in Machu Picchu. We had an early dinner at Indio Feliz, a busy and flavourful spot. We headed to bed early, anticipating another 4:30AM wake-up call.
