Hello everyone :)

I'm leaving for a South America trip this Friday and last minute decided to switch Pucon, Chile for MP, Peru due to covid restrictions. I'm traveling with a very (almost crazy) budget so I'm trying to plan as much ahead as I can in terms of spendings.

I fly from Sao Paulo the 31rst and arrive at Cusco at 2pm. I think that I have to spend the night because the bus to Aguascalientes departs at 8:30am the next day?

The Aguascalientes/Hidroelectrica thing confuses me... I here are the questions:

1. Does the bus really depart at 8:30 am?
2. Do I take the bus to Aguas and then walk for 2 hours to Hidroelectrica or?
3. Can I do Machu Piccu that same day and sleep in a hostel over there that night?
4. I have to travel to Lima the next day (this is the difficult part) the last flight departs at 9pm from Cusco... is it doable by bus?
5. If it is doable, do I walk from Machu Picchu to Aguascalientes and from there I take the bus to Cusco?

Any info would be highly appreciated. Including prices of transport 🤣 I've been looking all over the internet but the info is inconsistent.

Thank you in advance❤
