Translation of plaza in Spanish

The entrance hall where the passports were checked was renovated and had many ads for products from Western countries. Once we passed it and picked up our luggage we were looking for a ride into the city.
sorry i was not on skyoe. it was not working right. i will talk to you later. Just came back from the mountains. It was extremely cold and there was plenty of snow. But I loved it. Skiing is the best.
From there we took the bus to the main gate of the Machu Picchu ruins. Unfortunately we had to take the train back the same evening.
