Tribal Organization: Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla

Answer 1 of 5: Hello! I will visiting Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu next week. My thoughts are to take a train from Cusco/Poroy on 10/10 to Aguas Calientes and spend the night there (I have already booked the hotel). Wake up early on 10/11 to visit. Pretty much everyone comes to Aguas Calientes for one reason only: to visit the incredible Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. And while this ancient world wonder certainly does take center stage, there are a number of other nearby attractions that are more than worthy of consideration. Here are the top 10 things to see and do here.
