Machu Picchu is magnificent! Thank you to our incredible guide, Edwin. So knowledgeable!! Amazing history and incredible beauty. Thank you such a memorable time!
We booked a few tours with MachuPicchu Hop. Our experience was incredible! From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized! Our guides (Efra and Luis) were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the Inca Empire. The most breathtaking tour was to Mount Vinicunca! The nature is fantastic! Our guide, Efra, was close to us helping with high altitude sickness and giving us tips where to get the best spots to view the mountain! Transportation and logistics were handled smoothly, which made the trips stress-free.
We highly recommend booking with MachuPicchu Hop. They are a 5-star tour provider!!!
The journey is very long from Cusco (7 hour bus ride plus 2.5 hour walk after the bus.
The hotel and meals were basic but fine.
Unfortunately the prime views of Mapi were hidden in cloud as it's the rainy season.
My English-speaking guide wanted to stay with the larger group waiting for the cloud to clear, so I did the visit solo, which was fine. (I did this in the interests of time:: I had to get the bus down and walk 10 km to get the bus back to Cusco). On the way back it had been raining a lot and at one point at a river crossing, it looked like we would not be able to get back to Cusco that night, but we made it.
