The town of Santa Teresa was our second stop to sleep on our 4-day trek to Machu Picchu. It is about 20-30 km from Aguas Calientes town and the most famous thing about the place are its excellent natural hot springs. Thanks to these waters more and more tourists are dedicated to reaching Machu Picchu via treks like ours, so tourism has grown in Santa Teresa.
