Machu Picchu

Mario RubioBy: Mario Rubio

“An unforgettable experience“

“On summer vacations and thanks to a student exchange I was able to get to know Peru, it's amazing. But knowing Machu Picchu was what most marked me, I was surprised at its natural beauty and the perfect constructions of the Incas, it is truly a wonder. And best of all, the income came out at a discount, what more to ask for. Super recommended.“
