You are welcome!

Well, Aguas Calientes (now known as Machu Picchu Pueblo) is a small place but if you are a train fan, you could spend some time trainspotting. If you like hikes, you can hike up and around the mountains. There are hot springs and a little waterfall which I described earlier in my report.

But the main thing is - you really need a full day to have a nice immersive experience in Machu Picchu I think. Visiting the ruins in the morning and leaving in the afternoon just seems too rush rush to me. I realize majority of folks do this but it is just my opinion.
