Incredible experience. The feelings are unique when you are in this unique archaeological site. I highly recommend the tour with the Vistadome, through the valley, the forests and the small mountains. The tour with the very hospitable Mr. Efrain is something we will remember forever! A big thank you to Katheryn Vargas who organized our visit to Machu Pichu so perfectly!

We had the best time doing the short Inca trail with our guide - Tony ( Jose Antonio). Literally the best. He helped us through our hike on day one, was extremely knowledgeable and patient,recommended restaurants in town and made our beautiful experience even better. We look forward to meeting our new friend when we're back for another adventure:)
