Our guide for our two days at Machu Picchu was Lizandro, he did a great job on our walk along the Inca Trail with loads of information and interesting stops. Lizandro was very attentive and made sure that we were drinking plenty water and that weren’t suffering any effects from altitude. We spent two days in total together and totally enjoyed the time we spent with Lizandro. We could highly recommend him as a guide.
