They made us a personalized plan with transfers, the first day with a walking tour of the city of Cusco, the next day we took a tour of quadricycles to maras moray and salt flats and to end the last day with a full day to Machu Picchu supporting us with an excellent guide (Carlos Sifuentes) which gave us all the information and explanation of the history of this wonder!!
