Super Economic
A very budget-friendly trip to Machu Picchu in a car from Cusco. The coordinator offered me a good deal which included stay, transport, guide, and entrance tickets. The road was somewhat bumpy but very scenic. I enjoyed a lot the walk from Hydro Eltrica to Aguas Calientes town along the railway line. If you are looking for a budget trip to Machu Picchu then this is just ideal.
