Description
The distance from Pisac, elevation ~9,500-ft., located at the upper end of the Valley of the Inca, also known as the Urubamba River Valley, to Aguas Caliente, elevation ~6,600-ft, is approximately 50 miles. The Valley of the Incas can be reached from Cusco by bus or private vehicle and can be driven to Ollantaytambo. From there the only connection to Aguas Caliente is by rail. The only vehicles in Aguas Caliente are buses used to shuttle people to Mach Picchu, and a few commercial vehicles. There are no private vehicles or taxis.
As the name implies, there are some hot sulfur springs that bubble from the rocky ground. There are several pools with varying temperatures ranging from 38 C to 46 C. The municipality of Aguas Calientes maintains locker rooms and other amenities for a small fee at the site..
