The right way to go by Saasaan
I booked my trip with a company online, they had about 10 different packages to choose from. I went with Choice 5 "Cusco Adventure Budged" 8 days 7 nights for $500. I have never been so pleased with a company's service and regards to what you get for the price. If anything went wrong the people scrambled to fix it, they busted there ass for me, everything do go great, everyday was wonderful, I was given so much more than I excepted.DAY 1: CUSCO, CITY TOUR
DAY 2: SACRED VALLEY TOUR
DAY 3: RIVER RAFTING
DAY 4 to DAY 7: INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCU
DAY 8: TRANSFER OUT
and you are given so much more between that they provide a lot, like food, tickets into many museums, bus rides, and wonderful tour guides, and when your gone on your Inca trail for 4 days you still have your hotel room that you can leave your stuff in, you dont need to check out.
I can't think of a better option then the company I went with !
