The actual site was much larger than I expected. Make sure to bring sunscreen, and reapply it while you are there, as there is zero shade and it is hot most of the year. Would go again!”

And given the traffic in Peru, I was very grateful for Jimmy, our driver. I like that it was a small group. I also appreciated being taken back to my hotel midday for lunch and a break before the city tour began. Pamela was our city tour guide and she did a wonderful job as well. She kept a fast pace and had much information to share with us.”
