Inca trail is up to 4000m altitude. For me, walking 6-8 hours per day in the 0 altitude makes me exhausted. If you are young, fit and like trekking, recommend this, otherwise just take the train.
I think admission to machu Picchu ruins is $24, trains $60,
nazca line flight $50 for low season $78 for high season.
Some museums and archaelogical site costs around $2-15.
City tours in CUZCO and Lima will cost $25 each
It is great that you can travel at lower cost, we just find comfort zone for ourselves to travel, that's all about it.
The main reason I use GAP is that I travel alone and i don't speak any spanish. For some tickets, you can't book online, so I don't want to end up waiting or paying extra.
I went to Europe and Africa by myself using Hostel and local commune taxi with no problem. |
