Pros
- You could finish your Sacred Valley tour in Ollantaytambo and then immediately go to Aguas Calientes that afternoon or evening, rather than return to Cusco. Then stay the night there, and go to Machu Picchu the next day from Aguas Calien...
- I also recommend staying in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu) the day before visiting Machu Picchu site.
- You should plan on staying in Aguas Calientes the night before going to Machu Picchu. Take the train/bus to AC from Cusco and back.
Cons
- When we reach to the Aguas Calientes another tour guide welcomed us and we went to a little hotel. It was so bad and ironically there was no hot water! After walking 10km we couldn't even take a shower.
- Also there's nothing to do/see in Aguas Calientes. Take the first train back to Cusco or Sacred Valley
