The only way to do Macchu Picchu in one day is to take a helicopter there and back. The cost of an all-inclusive tour including guides and transfers all the way is approximately $ 225.00 USD. If interested I would suggest booking in advance. I know a friend and guide who lives in Cuzco who can arrange this for you in advance. His name is Francisco and he speaks good English. His cell phone number in Cuzco is 51-84-621911. His other phone is 51-84-233796. On a hotel in Cuzco, the best is the Hotel Monasterio. It is an absolutely beautiful renovated old monastery that has been converted to a hotel. They include a very nice full breakfast. Their phone number is 51-84-241777. Fax 51-84-237111. E-mail [email protected] They also offer free oxygen tanks in the room 24 hours if needed. The are one block from the main square in the center of Cuzco. Remember, you get what you pay for. Macchu Picchu is a must. Tell Francisco Mr. Arthur from AZ gave you his number. He can also arrange city, market, and nearby ruin tours.
