Traveling to Peru - is this a good itinerary?
Our take
Hey there, adventure seeker! Your itinerary for Peru sounds like an epic journey filled with unforgettable experiences! Arriving in Lima and diving into its vibrant culture is a fantastic start. Just remember, acclimatization is key, so consider flying to Cusco a day earlier if you can. As for the treks, Huayna Picchu offers stunning views and a thrilling climb, while Machu Picchu Mountain provides a more challenging hike with breathtaking panoramas. Each has its charm, so choose based on your adventure spirit! Enjoy your trip!
Hi, I’m not sure if this is allowed but I wanted to opinions on my trip to Peru in early September. This is my tentative plan
- Wednesday: fly into Lima arriving late at night
- Thursday: spend the day in Lima exploring
- Friday: fly to Cusco; we are planning on doing a five day guided tour to Sacred valley, Machu Picchu, rainbow mountain
- Tuesday: tour ends and fly home
My questions are
Am I missing anything?
Does the timing of this sound right?
Will we be sorry not getting to Cusco a day earlier for acclimatization?
We have the opportunity to add treks to Huayna Picchu, Machu Picchu Mountain, or Huchuy Picchu Mountain. Are any of these worth it? If so, which?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

- 3 weeks in Peru: can you rate my itineraryI’m still unsure if I should go to Arequipa, because I usually prefer having more of a base instead of moving around too much, and as a solo traveler I’d also like to meet people and do activities. May 15–17: Lima May 18–19: Paracas May 19–20: Huacachina May 21: Arrive in Cusco / rest day May 22–25: Cusco as a base (day trips / meeting people / exploring) May 26–29: 4-day Puerto Maldonado / Amazon trip from Cusco May 29 (evening): Back to Cusco May 30: Ollantaytambo May 31: Aguas Calientes June 1: Machu Picchu (9:00 entry) + back to Cusco June 2–3: Cusco June 4: Early morning flight Cusco → Lima June 5: Flight Lima → Home Does this itinerary look good for 3 weeks, or do you think I’d regret skipping Arequipa? If I do go to Arequipa, I’d probably stay there for 2–3 days at most, and I’d do that whole part by bus. So from Ica to Arequipa by bus and then Arequipa to Cusco by bus, which is why I’m unsure if it’s really worth it. submitted by /u/Physical-Court6347 [link] [comments]

- Cusco to La Paz - where to see in between?I have three nights spare/free on a solo holiday I'm taking to see Peru and Bolivia in October this year. I'm currently working out how best to use this time slot. I need to be in La Paz for the 13th October for another trip that is already booked to see the country, and I am leaving Cusco on the 10th October. Visiting and going to Lake Titicaca by bus, is the most likely and I am thinking of going there for 2 to 3 nights (Puna is looking a likely spot), with some day trips from there, before moving on to La Paz. There is no flexibility in time frames and the budget is pretty good. Recommendations on how people have visited this area previously to use this time, day trips or services; and do so on the journey from Cusco to La Paz with the best places and trips in between those two, would be greatly appreciated. Companies used for travel would also be great. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/Gavlarr101 [link] [comments]
- Itinerary question about going to MILI'm spending 3 days in the Sacred Valley before going to Machu Picchu Day 1 Pachamanca valley and some cultural immersion Day 2 Huchuy Qosqo, multi hour hiking and tour Day 3 Moray and Maras Afternoon train to Aguas Calientes from Ollantaytambo. I was considering changing something to tour and dine at MIL, which would include Moray and Maras. Day 1 is acclimation time, I can do something different, but won't do fine dining on that day. I do prefer to keep the train transfer, but I'm open to other Scenic options. I'm wondering if MIL is worth it, and how to shuffle or change this leg of my itinerary. submitted by /u/EntropySimian [link] [comments]
