After four days of hiking, we finally made it to the Sun Gate where we waited for the sun to rise and the clouds to clear to see the beauty of Machu Picchu. Then in Aquas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu, we all gathered in the restaurant for our last meal together as a group. Edwin, our guide distributed the certificate that says "We Survived The Inca Trail".
My friend and I stayed in Aquas Calientes for one night while most of our group boarded the 6:20 pm train back to Cusco. Originally I planned to go back to Machu Picchu to do more exploring in the morning but after four days of rigid hiking up in the Andes and explored many ruins along the way, we decided to just stay in the town below Machu Picchu, called Aquas Calientes which means Hot Springs in English.
Aguas Calientes is a town in the Urubamba River Valley. It’s known for its thermal baths and as a gateway to the nearby Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. The town center is full of eateries and shops, anchored by the central Mercado Artesanal, a craft market.
The town is just small surrounded by towering hills, rivers and many train tracks. It is the base before going up to Machu Picchu ruins. There are several ways to get to Machu Picchu. You can go there by bus from Aquas Calientes, by hiking from Aquas Calientes or via several Inca Trails. For us, we joined organized four days treks starting from KM 82. It is a very challenging trek going through two high mountain passes where the air is thin which made it harder to hike.

However, different options are also built inexpensively, and won't essentially be optimized for max taste and extraction. Stainless Steel Stainless metal is usually used in addition to or instead of aluminum. When it is used with aluminum in an espresso machine's boiler, the stainless steel CNC machining lines the inside of the boiler — the place the steel is in near-constant contact with water.
