Tips for visiting Peru on this itinerary (page 2 of 2)

Gonna get sick for sure?😏

ah maybe yeah, that must be what that expression means 😉

Peruvian cuisine is recognized by professionals as one of the best.

Hi there, Here’s what I’d recommend seeing during your road trip. Lima: - Barranco (street art, local vibe) - Miraflores + Costa Verde (walks, sunset) - Historic center (Plaza Mayor, San Francisco convent) Avoid the "gastronomic tours"—they’re overpriced and not necessarily super interesting.

Paracas: - Ballestas Islands (for marine wildlife) - Paracas National Reserve - Sunset at La Mina / Lagunillas Watch out for overcrowded "express" combo tours and tourist-trap restaurants by the port.

Nazca: - Flight over the Nazca Lines (early morning) - Free terrestrial viewpoints - Antonini Museum One day there is enough, plus the two nights before and after. There isn’t much else to do in the area, in my opinion. This could let you spend an extra day in Paracas, for example.

Arequipa: - Santa Catalina Monastery - Plaza de Armas + colonial center - Colca Canyon (1 or 2 days)

Puno: - Uros Islands (short visit) - Taquile Island (more authentic) - Sunset over the lake

The city center isn’t very interesting.

Cusco: - Machu Picchu (book your ticket in advance if possible) - Sacred Valley (Pisac, Ollantaytambo) - Cusco + Sacsayhuaman All-inclusive Machu Picchu excursions are particularly expensive. The artisan markets are tourist traps.

Hope this helps!

Happy travels! !
