Small but beautiful square

Lovely little area surrounded by restaurants and little shops. Beautiful tree as well as park benches to sit and enjoy. The only church in this town is here as well. Nice tribute!

Walking around

If you arrive early in Aguas Calientes you should walk around the village and go to that plaza at the bottom of the road. It's a nice place to sit and relax after all stairs.
