Further more, in some countries a local broker may get you a far better deal than you would ever get online. It is just that online tools penetration is not quite there for the smaller tour/lodge/travel operators in 3rd world countries.
One example:From Lima to Cuzco (on your way to Machu Pichu)
Flight via regular airline ~$300.
Overnight bus on a 1st class seat/bed (Very comfy!) ~$30!
(You sleep most of the way, so you save 1 night hotel and adjust to the high altitude while on the road)
- pyoung 14y agoFrom what I have heard, that bus ride is pretty hairy. Not sure if this was in first class or not but a friend who recently went there opted for the flight. Then again he was only there for a few weeks and time was probably a bigger factor than budget.
