Excelente experiencia, machu picchu es un espectáculo de maravilla que ver y una visita que toda persona debería realizar. El tour con Elvis fue fantástico, es un guia magnífico y muy extrovertido e interesante, se nota que conoce el contenido e historia y que le importa que sus grupos de tour aprendan. El hostal en aguas calientes y las comidas incluidas son justo lo que necesitas luego de las excursiones, de verdad que no hay quejas al respecto. Nuestra única critica viene a ser con respecto al transporte el dia de regreso, el conductor no dejaba de detener el vehículo al menos 1 vez por hora, convirtiendo el viaje de max 7 horas en uno de 10 y ocasionandonos problemas de retraso con nuestras reservas de estadia al regreso. Conduciendo como un tosco e incomodando a todos los pasajeros al punto que cada vez que habia algun indicio de que se detendria el bus entero se quejaria. Mas alla de eso no hay queja alguna de la experiencia

Machu Picchu selbst war überwältigend. Die Organisation selbst war sehr gut. Dar Reisebüro selbst war hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Nur das Hotel war grottenschlecht. Es war dreckig, ein nicht gemachtes Bett von dreien, TV ohne Fernbedienung, verschimmelter Seifenspender im Bad.

Una via alternativa per arrivare a Macchu Picchu che mi è piaciuta particolarmente! Considerate comunque che ci sono 7 ore di bus il primo giorno e altre 7 il secondo giorno per il trasferimento Cusco-Idroelettrica e viceversa che sono moto pesanti e su una strada che nella prima metà è piena di tornanti e nella seconda diventa sterrata a scoscesa. La camminata da idroelettrica a aguas calientes è particolare e caratteristica, alla portata di tutti essendo tutta piana e dura 3 ore. La sistemazione è un ostello funzionale e spartano. A noi i ragazzi chiamavano per nome nella piazza della cittadina per trovarci. Macchu Picchu invece non necessità di descrizione: è semplicemente spettacolo puro e la guida ha reso tutto ancora più speciale con il suo genuino attaccamento e interesse per il luogo, è riuscita a trasmetterci tutte le informazioni necessarie in 3 ore anche se sarei rimasto ad ascoltarla tutto il giorno. Il ritorno, anche questo non complicato, dura circa 3.30-4 ore
