Machu Picchu thanks for his attentive transportation
Thank you for your kind transportation from the inn in Cusco to Machu Picchu. Until October, we were expecting sunny spells in the dry season, but it was disappointing that Machu Picchu had light rain. I would like to visit next time when the chances of sunny weather are high until August.
