Peru Itinerary
Hello
I am planning a trip to Peru from late August to mid September and am thinking of the following itinerary. Does this make sense or seem too intense? I am interested in a combination of learning about Peruvian culture and lots of nature/hiking. My budget (excluding flights to lima) is about 3500 dollars so also wondering if this doable. I would be interested in seeing other parts of peru but don't want it to feel too rushed
I am from Colorado and love hiking and backpacking. I tend to do pretty well with altitude and only start to feel symptoms of altitude sickness at 14,000 feet. I am in decent shape but not extremely athletic but am planning on jogging and hiking over the summer to train.
