Machupicchu Pueblo the name is Aguas Calientes !!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.43.12.241 (talk) 02:47, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aguas Calientes (Spanish for "hot water" or "hot springs"), sometimes referred to as Machupicchu Town, is a town in Peru on the Urubamba (Vilcanota) River. It is the closest access point to the historical site of Machu Picchu, which is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away or about a 1.5 hours walk. There are many hotels and restaurants for tourists, as well as natural hot baths, which give the town its name. The baths were destroyed by floods several years ago, but have been rebuilt.

It isn't 1.5 hours walk but 4 hours. You have to climb 400 metres. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.12.110.203 (talk) 11:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
