Loved it! Truly magical
Joel is so incredibly informative. We learned so much and were able to truly experience the magic of Machu Picchu with him. There was a hiccup in the beginning with the circuits but the company made up for it and we had an amazing time.

Recommended 100%
Very good organization. They prepared everything and accompanied us in all the activity. It is worth visiting on tour as travel can be complicated by free and really the cost of the activity is already high even doing it alone. It is not worth “saving” so I recommend 100% this company. They have always been tentative, resolute with doubts or requests and the guide was fantastic. He explained many things to us and always open to our questions. Add, for travelers, that, at least in our case, the time in hot waters got a little long. So I recommend checking well if you want to spend more or less time in hot waters and that you square the trains with the operator because of that. In hot springs there are free hot springs (in case someone wants to take swimming trunks). On top of that, it is to walk or visit the butterfly.
