Aguas Calientes - Machupicchu Travel Forum

Hi, i'm wondering if anyone has email addresses/websites of hostels in aguas calientes. i'd like to stay there one night in mid-July and I'm having a hard time with the email addresses in the guidebooks - most of them have bounced back to me. Also any tips on how/when to reserve hostels in aguas calientes.
I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

Afraid i dont know any, but not sure why you would want to. aguas calientes really has nothing much to offer. Some people believe you can get into MP earlier, but actualy you cant get there any earlier than the early train would get you in from cuzco

You can hike up to Aguas Calientes as early as 6 am, the trains don't arrive until 10 am. So yes, there is an advantage of 4 hours then, and then in the afternoon, the trains start leaving at 3 pm, and you can stay onsite until dark so another advantage at night.

I thought Aguas Calientes was an interesting little town, once you walk away from the railway track "street". We stayed at a pretty low-end for the money place, La Caban(y)a (there's a Spanish n in there, can't do on my keyboard), about $30 per night, booked through Peruhotelsguide.com (requires a 30% deposit).

I meant, hike up FROM Aguas Calientes to MP....
