Amazing tour to Machu Picchu

We wanted to book an Inca trek tour. However Inca treks due to the high demands are most of time sold out. This tour was an excellent alternative. We love the rafting experience, the trek and our helpful guide (thanks Jose). The best was at the end with the Machu Picchu guide visit. Highly recommended
