two girls with backpacks
under a red umbrella
entering Machu Picchu
These two girls in blue uniforms with red and white stripes, walking in step arm-in-arm under a red umbrella with ears, seem to be entering a magic gateway into Machu Picchu. Their hometown, Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo, is the junction point for travelers going to and from the ruins. A tiny town, it sits between two rushing rivers in a deep gorge below the ancient site. Trains run through the town, but no cars are allowed. If you walk to the top of this steep street, past shops and street vendors, you will find the hot springs for which the town is named.
