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.

Day 1: Fly to lima

Day 2: bus to Huaraz

Day 3-5: day hikes near Huaraz

Day 6 - 15: 10 day HuayHuash (guided)

Day 16: rest day in Huaraz

Day 17: bus to lima, fly to cusco

Day 18: explore cusco

Day 20- 23: choqiuero 4 day treck (guided)

Day 24-25: rest/ explore in cusco

Day 26 - 30: 5 day Asungante treck (guided) or 4 day Lares treck (unguided)

Day 31 - 50: workaway near Cusco, explore sacred valley on days off

Day 51: fly cusco to lima to home
