Aguas Calientes

The train to Machu Picchu ends here.  There are some good restaurants and lodging and this is where many people stay when visiting Machu Picchu.  From here visitors must travel by bus (or hike) up 12 switchbacks to the park entrance.  Staying for 3 days and 2 nights would have been inconvenient from Aguas Calientes, but fortunately our hotel was atop the mountain right next to he park entrance.  Our final day at the park concluded with a great lunch at Qunuq in Hotel Sumaq.
