 Going to pools of Agua
Calientes, Peru by jumpingnorman
I walked to the pools for from town for just about 15-25 minutes, following the main road to right of the Plaza and going uphill. The walk is on a very narrow and busy road, with restaurants and shops. I actually decided to eat on one of the restaurants and the food was remarkably good, although I was the only one eating in the whole place. Then of course, I stopped in an out of the souvenir shops.
Then you do pass some roaring waters and bridges as you go Aguas Calientes…a very nice forest path that will bring you to the entrance which charges about US$3 to enter. There are changing facilities, showers, luggage storage and a small cafe which also sells beer! Beer for the tired hikers…
There’s a cold pool, a hot pool, a big pool for socializing, a small pool and then a pool with some water spouts…very refreshing.

 End of the line! by mad4travel
Its where you come to rest your bones after completing the inca trail.
Its not much to write home about but it does seem to have more Pizza restaurants than most major cities in Italy.
It also seems to have (probably quite understandable given its location) the slowest internet connections in Peru.
Theres lots of T Shirt and souvenir shops and a nice little square to watch the world go by.
There are also some hot springs to rest your weary bones.
A lot of the hotels are bang on the railway track and with the first train leaving at 5.45 you may think it is actually going to come steaming in thru your room its so loud.
Goods early morning wake up call tho! Leave a Comment

Aguas is a beautiful little town surrounded by mountains. It has plenty of nice places to stay and dine. As with the rest of Peru, you need to negotiate everything. In off season, you should get a very nice place for $20 - 25 US. When you go to dine, ask for the "touristico" menu which is a 3 course meal for 10 Soles (about $3.50 US). If you go for a massage, go direct rather than through the hotel as that adds another layer of cost. You should pay $10 US per hour.
DON'T GO TO THE HOT SPRINGS. They look and smell aweful. If you are planning to go to Arequipa and on the 2 day Colca Canyon tour, DEFINITELY go to the hot springs in Chivay...very good. Leave a Comment

 Corn on the track by Srechko
Funniest thing about Aguas Calientes is that it has a train track going right through its center. So we found ourselves having dinner in the patio in one of the restaurants when the train whistle got our attention. The train passed only a meter away from us.
Dogs are part of entertainment as well. They follow you everywhere. One of my friends got so frustrated with them being behind her for an hour that she complained to police!!! They said "Don't worry - they don't bite". And they didn't...
Another guy climbed the telephone pole to make a call - like it was his everyday routine.
On the photo you can see a moment of scene that we witnessed. Corn sellers dropped their cart and it fell over to the train tracks. They picked up all the corns and continued like nothing happened... Leave a Comment
