During his visit to Machu Picchu must take into account that Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), has a population of just over 5,000 inhabitants, a fairly small town, besides being accessible only by rail, so the items you find in the business will be somewhat limited.

Although Machu Picchu Pueblo has drugstores and pharmacies, most of these only sell basic drugs. You must bear in mind that if your health requires some special medicine or difficult to find, you should buy it in the city of Cusco before the trip.
