Full day tour in Machu Pichu
Beautiful experience. We went on the day to Machu Pichu from Cusco. We did circuit 2 which allowed us to know a lot about the place. The guide was always attentive to our needs, gave us a lot of information and answered all our doubts. He took us to key places to take pictures and contemplate the place. The tour was complete, punctual and enjoyable.
