Machupicchu lies at the Vilcanota River. It is the closest access point to the historical site of Machu Picchu which is 6 kilometres (3.7\u00a0mi) away or about a 90-minute walk. There are many hotels and restaurants for tourists, as well as natural hot baths which gave the town its colloquial Spanish name.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The village of Machupicchu did not exist until the railroad was built, as it was a center for construction workers. It took off after the railroad opened in 1931 and foreign tourists started arriving to visit the Machu Picchu ruins. Enterprising individuals set up businesses serving the tourists, primarily restaurants and small hotels. Those who could afford luxury stayed at the luxury hotel up by the ruins.The official name[2] comes from Quechua Machu Pikchu from machu old, old person, pikchu pyramid; mountain; or prominence with a broad base that ends in sharp peaks.[3] The addition of “pueblo” comes from the Spanish word for town.[4] It was formerly called Aguas Calientes meaning “hot waters” or “hot springs”.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4History[edit]Transport[edit]Industry[edit]Gallery[edit]Twin towns[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Settled by a few farm families in 1901, the settlement was transformed into a busy railway worker’s camp called Maquinachayoq (possibly from Quechua makina (a borrowing from Spanish m\u00e1quina) machine \/ locomotive, train,[5]-cha, -yuq suffixes, “the one with a little machine, locomotive or train”, Makinachayuq)[6] during the construction of the railroad through there in the late 1920s. The town was the central hub for worker lodging and their equipment until the railway was completed in 1931.[7]Transport[edit]Machupicchu serves as a terminal for the PeruRail and Inca Rail[8] passenger train service from Cusco. Trains serve locals and tourists arriving from Cusco and Ollantaytambo to visit Machu Picchu. Avenue Pachacutec is the main and only thoroughfare of the town, connecting the baths to the town’s main square.Industry[edit]The Central Machupicchu Hydroelectric Plant (Hidroelectrica) is nearby at the Urubamba River. It generates about 90\u00a0MW for the regions of Cusco, Puno, and Apur\u00edmac . It was first constructed between 1958 and 1965 and expanded between 1981 and 1985. The plant was damaged by a landslide on 28 February 1998 and ceased operations until 13 July 2001.[9]Gallery[edit]Train tracks bisect the townMachupicchu Village Scene, March 2006Railbus Officials in Aguas Calientes.Twin towns[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]^ escale.minedu.gob.pe \u2013 UGEL map of the Urubamba Province (Cusco Region)^ spij.minjus.gob.pe Ley 9396 (Law 9396 1 October 1941) (in Spanish): “…  El nuevo distrito que se crea por la presente ley se denominar\u00e1 Machupicchu y tendr\u00e1 por capital la poblaci\u00f3n de este nombre que se ha formado alrededor de la actual Estaci\u00f3n de Machupicchu. …”^ Teofilo Laime Acopa, Diccionario Biling\u00fce, Iskay simipi yuyay k’ancha, Quechua \u2013 Castellano, Castellano \u2013 Quechua (Quechua-Spanish dictionary): machu \u2013 adj. y s. m.
