Mejores Excursiones de un Día y Cosas que Hacer en Aguas calientes

Situated in the valley next to the magnificent Machu Picchu, this is where many travelers stay when they visit the world famous Inca ruins. Aguas Calientes, also known as Machupicchu, was established in 1901 as a base camp for laborers laying tracks between Cusco and Santa Ana. Visitors began streaming in during the 1970s, leading to greater development and the commissioning of the statue of Inca Emperor Pachacutec, which now greets nearly 1.2 million visitors annually.
