Advice from people who have been there

Machu Picchu

By: Ana Sofia T.

“Machu Picchu and its charms“

“There is so much to see in Machu Picchu that I don't think even staying a whole week would be enough. I was delighted, the whole experience was beautiful, from Cusco, the train ride, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and its beautiful villages, and Machu Picchu. The adventure of climbing its mountain was one of the best not to mention the stone city itself. I would come back many more times as one day is not enough to see all this wonder.“
