Confirms 2013 fares for travel to Machu Picchu
The consortium of tourist transport companies of Cusco (Consettur) confirmed the list of new travel costs, which will take effect from January 1, 2013, to travel five miles by bus from Machu Picchu Inca people into town.
It was pointed out that foreign tourists will pay $ 18.50 instead of $ 17.50; foreign children pay $ 10 instead of $ 9. Also domestic tourists pay $ 13 instead of $ 12; passengers pay 19 soles cusqueños than previously paid 18, while residents in Machu Picchu village paid 8 soles instead of the 7 they currently pay.
Consettur justify these prices due to the renewal of its fleet of buses, rising fuel costs, vehicle parts that rose in price recently, ongoing maintenance of their units and increased payments to staff working on the buses.
