Machu Picchu in 1 day from CUSCO

My favorite part without a doubt was knowing the majestic wonder of the Machu Picchu world, I thank the guide Roger extensively, because my experience without him would not have been the same, he explains in detail the history and what Machu Picchu represents, is very punctual, attentive, and clears up any doubts that arise at the time, and also helped me capture very nice photos, travel from Mexico to make this excursion, and I was certainly delighted.

I am a little overweight and have trouble with stairs. The guide was very patient and made sure things went at my pace. We were picked up at our Airbnb very early to begin the trek. During the car ride most slept but I took advantage of asking the guide lost of questions. Roger was extremely knowledgeable on the history and culture of Machu Picchu and the Inka. We then boarded the train to Machu Picchu where we were able to have breakfast upon arrival. There were options of finer restaurants as well as restaurants for locals. Roger stayed with us throughout the trek up the mountain and through Machu Picchu he kept the children engaged and was able to explain things in both Spanish and English so the kids would understand. After we returned he showed us a great place for a late lunch. He also informed us of how to get to the thermal baths that we passed on as well the shopping market before he departed. We returned by train to find the driver waiting for us at the town ready to drive us back to our Airbnb. I know that if Roger hadn’t been our guide this would not have been as wonderful an experience as it was. We were guided privately which was a treat as we saw many tour companies trekking around with large tour groups. I feel like they would not have waited for me to catch up or answered all our questions. Additionally Roger was a great photographer and pointed out many photo spots and even did some reels for our teens to be able to post on Instagram.
