Great trek!!! My guides from KB Travel- Richardo and Raul were phenomenal through out the 5 day trek. Also, Ruth from libertrek Peru travel was amazing coordinating, Machu Picchu ticket, bus return ticket etc. and lastly my guide to Machu Picchu Richard was pretty knowledgeable about the history and its significance to world 7 wonders. Highly recommended!!
