No dia do meu passeio houve problema com o trem, o que dificultou a passagem, mas podemos acessar no final do dia, perto do pôr-do-sol e a vista estava fantástica, junto com a energia do lugar! Na entrada barraram meu passeio de circuito 3, alegando que eu precisava de guia, mas o problema foi resolvido e pude acessar todas as dependências do parque. Foi liberado todas as vias e espaços!

“This is one of the highlights of my 18 day trip! Such a cool experience, the animals appeared to be safe, well cared, and content. My guide spoke excellent English. There were very few people there. Only hitch was I took an Uber to get there, not realizing how remote the sanctuary is. Would recommend arranging both to and from transportation so you don’t get stranded!”

15.Machu Picchu Entry Ticket and Bus from Aguas Calientes

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 8 reviews · 1 day · from $119

This self-guided Machu Picchu visit starts in Aguas Calientes with a 30-minute bus ride to the citadel.

You get about two hours inside for stonework, terraces, mountain views, and photos, but no guide. Bring your passport and check your entry circuit and time before booking.

“I don’t recommend this service. All they provide is purchasing your Machu Picchu entrance and your bus tickets but don’t provide any physical services. For this you are charged double the price that it would cost to do yourself. I only purchased this service as I thought my date was sold out, but the tickets for my date had not been released yet. Additionally the communication was a bit poor and we only got our bus tickets late in the evening before we were going up.”
