This was by far the best place we visited in South America, and the guide highlithed the most important information about this stunning complex, we wanted to stay longer but for the schedule of the train ticket it wasnt possible.
This place is magic.
We wanted to do the bus tours to Machu Picchu but ended up doing this. It was totally worth the money. The guide service was top notch and everything was organised smoothly.
