Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu 2-Day Tour with Hotel from Cusco

estar preparados para subir cientos de peldaños, que si tu rodilla no dá, mejor prepárate con antelación, vale la pena el esfuerzo. Claro que en tres días hicimos, las tres visitas,

Our 2-day trip began in Cusco. The evening before, we received a message from the tour company with the details of the day. We were told we'd be picked up at our hotel at 7:30-7:45, but they were there early...more like 7:15. We were still having breakfast, so thankfully, they were willing to wait for us to finish! Our tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. It was a long day, with a lot of it in the van, but the experience was worth the bumpy roads and lengthy travel! There was a bit of confusion around the train schedule and location for our trip to Machu Picchu. We just felt as though more clarification would have been helpful. We needed to hear more than, "Don't worry about it. It's fine." When we arrived in Machu Picchu Pueblo we received help from several locals in finding our hotel. A police officer actually walked us there! The hotel, Retama, was lovely, clean, and the staff was so accommodating and kind! Our tour of Machu Picchu was spectacular! We were fortunate enough to have a sunny day despite it being rainy season! Our tour guide, Joel, was so passionate about the ruins and did a great job explaining the significance of each. He was also happy to take photos of us when we asked!! Our time there was probably our favorite! Even though it wasn't a perfect experience, it certainly was one we will remember for a lifetime! I highly recommend it!

Inca trail is difficult yet so rewarding. Machu Picchu is just beautiful. Our private tour guide, Anthony, was brilliant. Friendly, educational, and such a good photographer. Incredible 2 days, highly recommend!
