Machu Picchu is by no means the only thing to see in Peru (although it tends to be what the country is most famous for), or even the only thing to see around Cusco, the nearest city. For a variety of reasons (such as time constraints), some travelers cannot make the trip out to Aguas Calientes, the touristy town near the base of the ruins’ mountain – but this shouldn’t put a damper on your Peru trip! There are loads of things to do instead, and some of them are cheaper and can be done all in one day.
