Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Village) Tour by Train Attractions

We all know the wonders of the Machu Picchu site, but as a major plus there is also the chance to enjoy a relaxing hotel or walk and visit around Aguas Calientes attractions; a beautiful, warm climate place in the middle of astonishing natural beauty.

  • The Butterfly Research Center: an ecology advocate center which houses many species of butterflies in a simulated natural environment, for preservation and study; they offer daily guided tours at a very affordable ticket price (a little more than US$3.00).
  • The Thermal Baths: it is a beautiful, relaxing, cozy complex of pools where people can surely spend a great time enjoying the energizing water and looking up at the magnificent surrounding landscape. A wonderful option for your Aguas Calientes stay.
  • Massage Rooms: you will find plenty of them in the village, to give yourself a great treat; there are many types of massages available, but we believe you will likely choose one of the ancient Inca medicine massages.
  • The Putucusi Mountain: for all accounts, a wonderful optional hike, which takes visitors up to a summit with a unique view of the Machu Picchu sanctuary.
  • Food: lots of good pizza places, Chinese food restaurants (called chifas in Peru) and also great spots for typical Peruvian juices and meals.
  • Drinks: plenty of good bars with international and Peruvian cocktails, and cold beer always available for Aguas Calientes’ warmer temperature.
  • The Handicraft Market: a wonderful place to find many typical products with Inca-Andean design; just remember to bargain a little, because prices tend to rise there due to the affluence of most visitors.
