Great trip . Carlos is very knowlwedgeable and helpful. He gave good tips on how to keep your stuff dry. Good cook and nice porters. Bus on way back was disorganized though. Carlos is very good at speaking English and is patient. He is also well educated. We lucked out with the weather. Even though it was rainy season lots of good views of Machu Pichu. I am with the travel group on facebook called Frugal World Traveller. Carlos has a good understanding of world affairs. I am from Canada. Peru is nice and Cusco is great. Great pick up service from my hostal and friendly staff
