Even during rainy season, I would recommend making the trip. The lines were short and the clouds blocked some of the intense sunshine. We met in person the night before the trip to confirm details and answer questions. Transfers from the hotel entrance to Machu Picchu and back were smooth. Our guide in Machu Picchu shared oodles of information while recommending photo spots and taking pics. A light rain fell for less than 30 minutes, it was a wonderful trip.
Thank you to our great guide Wilbert. His knowledge of the site and its history is second to none. All stages of this memorable day of transport to the visit were 5 stars. Recommend it to anyone who wants to live the experience with confidence.

Visiting Machu Picchu has been one of the most impressive experiences of my life. I fully understand why she is considered a Wonder of the World. The energy felt there is unique and difficult to explain. Although getting there is not easy, every step of the way is really worth it. I had seen many photos and videos before going, but nothing compares to being there and contemplating those majestic ruins surrounded by incredible mountains. It is a place that you have to live in person to understand its true magnitude. Undoubtedly, an experience I will never forget and what better with this distinguished Enterprise!
My first solo adventure outside my country exceeded all my expectations. From the first moment I felt accompanied and safe. I was able to immerse myself in the cultural richness of the place, enjoy delicious cuisine and, above all, have the constant attention of an agency that really cares about its travelers. Thank you for making this trip an unforgettable experience. Thanks Peruvip!
From the train journey to the bus climb, the whole journey was exciting. The arrival at Machu Picchu is stunning, the view from the viewpoints leaves you breathless. I recommend it 100% if you want to travel without stress or worry!
Machu Picchu exceeded our expectations. The place is amazing, with unique views and a special energy. Everything worked well: the schedules, transportation and guide we hired was very clear and friendly. Despite the somewhat high prices, it was an unforgettable family walk. Totally recommended!
