Machu Picchu Tour for Women
Machu Picchu’s nearby town, Aguas Caliente (Hot Water), has come a long way. It slowly takes on the tourist feel of Cuzco, with numerous hotels, restaurants, and craft shops. It can only be reached by rail. Therefore, much of the town revolves around the rail line running through its center. Many will come for the day, and the rest will come for one night before returning to Cuzco the next morning or afternoon. Prices tend to be higher here than elsewhere, and there is little to do besides enjoy the many tourist restaurants and shops. The heat and humidity are more intense here than in Cuzco or elsewhere, as the town and ruins sit in an upper Amazon cloud forest. Many return to Machu Picchu sunburned, so be sure to carry sunscreen.
Most tourist amenities, such as Internet cafés, a small medical center, and a police station, are available within a few minutes. There are ATMs now, but most places accept credit cards and traveler’s checks, which can be exchanged for money at hotels and tour offices.
Getting Here and Around to Machu Picchu
To get to Machu Picchu from Aguas Caliente, you have two options: taking a bus or walking the steep 8-km/4.8-mile road to the top of the ancient citadel. Buses run from town to the entrance of Machu Picchu every few minutes from 6 a.m. until the evening and cost $12.00 each way. They leave and return when complete. You can buy tickets from the office at Río Urubamba Bridge. There will likely be people and buses lined up at the spot.
Sightseeing Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu Women’s Tours 5 Days There are only two attractions worth mentioning in town: the thermal baths and a short hike. The hot spring of Aguas Caliente is set up like a swimming pool. A hot, steaming swimming pool. The collection is on Av: Pachacutec, about 15 minutes from the town’s small plaza, Plaza Manco Capac. If you hiked here for several days, the thermal bath would do wonders for your muscles and that revolting smell coming off you. Open 5 a.m.–8 p.m.—admission 20 soles. Although most people are too tired from getting to Aguas Caliente to even think of hiking anywhere, some retain enough energy to climb the sacred mountain of Putukusi.
Putukusi Mountain Hike
Women Only Tours Machu Picchu: The top of the mountain has unparalleled views of Machu Picchu. You must go to the railroad just out of town to get there. At the sign that says Km 111, a trail of stone steps leads up the mountain for about two hours. The climb down takes half that time.
Shopping in Machu Picchu Town
Aguas Caliente is flourishing in selling crafts, though prices are higher than in Cuzco or elsewhere. But it is a town where you often have time to buy great items. Vendors are everywhere; the largest handicraft market is before the train station entrance.
Machu Picchu Mountain Climb
Machu Picchu Women’s Tours 5 Days: Machu Picchu is stunning and breathtakingly gorgeous. The ancient city is so remote, so high up, and surrounded by mountains as beautiful as it is. It is a dream-like setting if there ever was one.
Machu Picchu, Peru, is the most popular on the continent and the driving force behind tourism to Peru. But it is getting overwhelmed with visitors now. Tourism here increases every year. You must book hotels, trains, and tours earlier during the high season. The site is very crowded from May to September, with thousands of people visiting it daily. By around noon, most are there at the same time. Restrictions are necessary if Machu Picchu wants to remain for years to come.
Huayna Picchu Mountain Climb
Women Only Tours Machu Picchu: The Huayna Picchu, which means “young mountain” in Quechua, is the peak that looms over the ruins. What can climb it via a steep stone-paved trail? The climb gives bragging rights to those who complete it. The record is 17. The average time ranges from about 55 minutes to. The view at the top is incredible, and you can see the entire site and excellent views of the mountains and valleys surrounding you. Several buildings and terraces are being restored. The path getting there is steep and, at some points, very narrow; passing someone coming down can be tricky.
The Temple of the Moon
Machu Picchu Women’s Tours 5 Days The Moon Temple can be reached up or down from Huayna Picchu, although few make the trip. The exciting stonework consists of a carved altar, throne, and other caverns and niches with little to do with lunar observation. The journey takes about an hour each way.
