Aguas Calientes
From Hydroelectric you will hike for 11km. This hike is a mostly flat walk beside the railway and beside the beautiful Vilcanota river.
The hike from Hydroelectric to Aguas Calientes was the same trail used by the North American professor Hiram Bingham who rediscovered Machu Picchu after centuries of it being lost to the outside world!
You will spend a night in Aguas Calientes and have the rest of the day to explore the town. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and hot springs to keep you busy before visiting the Inca wonder.
Your tour guide will meet you at your hostel reception for any last details about your Machu Picchu visit.
