1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - In the town square stands an impressive bronze statue of the great Inca Pachacuti. Pachacuti was the ruler who transformed the Incas from a small tribal conclave in Cusco to a nation that rivaled the empires of Ceasar and Alexander. He was likely the builder of Machu Picchu.
1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - We spent the night at the Hanaqpacha Inn, a nice enough hotel except that it is all of six feet from the railroad tracks - which became quite evident at 3 a.m. when a train rumbled by our window.
1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - On our way to board the bus for the trip up the mountain to Machu Picchu, we passed the statue of the Inca Pachacuti now in full daylight.
1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - Virtually all the trades in town are to service the tourists who pass through the village.

1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - We exit the train station at Aqua Calientes prepared to begin our explorations of Machu Picchu.

1000places > AQUA CALIENTES, PERU - After an hour-and-a-half trip, we pulled into the train station at Aqua Calientes - the end of the line.
1000places > PERU - LAND OF THE INCAS: For those who are interested in all things ancient, Peru is on the "must see" list. So in October 2006, we embarked on a 10-day trip that would take us to Lima, into the Sacred Valley, and to one of the great archeological wonders of the world - Machu Picchu.
