Peru’s Aguas Calientes offers weary travelers the chance to soak in thermal baths and browse for artisan souvenirs before (or after) using the town as a gateway to Machu Picchu. Its remote location deep in the Urubamba Valley is accessible to tourists only by train.
It's no wonder Machu Picchu is Peru's most-visited site. Dating to the mid-1400s, it's a marvel of mortar-free limestone architecture perched on a high plateau deep in the Amazonian jungle. Get there via train from Cusco or, if you're not faint-hearted, make the trip on foot via a multi-day hiking trail—you'll travel through deep Andean gullies and enjoy stunning views.
