Agua Calientes – A Divided
Town
We overnighted in
Agua Calientes so we could do 2 trips up to Machu Picchu. Altho the main focus of our stay here wasn’t
the town, I did manage to capture some images that highlighted the town –
Bridges in Agua
Calientes
A couple of things
ran right thru the town of Agua Calientes.
One of them is the Urubamba River.
Consequently, there are several bridges in town, so one can get from the
train and some shops to the rest of the town.
Street Scene – Agua Calientes

The other thing that
runs thru town is the train tracks. Here’s
a view of this part of town, with shops on either side of the tracks.
Town Square – Agua Calientes
– Stylized
The other side of
town (where our hotel was) had this lovely town square. I converted the image I took to a sketch
because this had the feel of a travel journal sketching.
Birdbath
The town square also
had a fountain that a number of birds used as a top of the line birdbath! Here’s an image of one of the users. He would practically do a head-first dive
into the fountain!
Enjoy!
