Aguas Calientes is the colloquial name for "Hot Springs", a town in Peru on the Urubamba (Vilcanota) River.
It is best known as the closest access point to the sacred historical site of Machu Picchu (in Quechua: old mountain), which is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away, about 1.5 hours walk. 
There are many hotels and restaurants for tourists, as well as natural hot baths, which give the town its name. The baths were destroyed by floods several years ago, but have been rebuilt.
