We're planning a trip so I want to show you all the itinerary. Then I would love feedback from my fellow experienced Reddit people!

Thank you in advance.

10/25-10/27 Lima.

10/27-10/28 Huacachina (day trip to desert)

10/28 Lima

10/29-10/31 Arequipa

10/31 Cusco/Sacred Valley

11/1-11/3 Sacred Valley/Ollantaytambo/Agus Callientes

11/4 Agus Callientes (Machu)

11/5-11/6 Cusco

11/7 Lima * Flight home.

We're trying to figure out the train luggage issue for traveling to Machu Picchu.

We read they won't allow our luggage on board. Makes sense to allow more room for customers to visit.

But that must mean we're going to have to pay for a night Sacred Valley and then double back to get our luggage? Before heading back to Cusco?

I hope this is written well enough to understand and someone can helps us a bit?

The reason I want to wear shorts because I can wear a device on my leg to stimulate my leg so I can walk safely. But I can always wear an older device AFO its more rigid but I know its safe if I need to wear pants.

Going to Cusco and Machu Picchu from Oct. 10 - 18 , if I wear shorts, will my legs be cold or should I were long pants?

Peru travel itinerary

Hi everyone, i’m visiting Peru in may for 27 days. I’ve researched a fair bit and have came up with what i think is a good itinerary but it’s my first time visiting Peru so i’d love to get some advice on it.

Admittedly most research i have done is around the Amazon lodge i’ll be staying at and whether to do the Salkantay or Inca trek so these are set in stone for me.

Everything else can be moved around a little.

I currently don’t have a day to day itinerary so i can keep it a little more open until i research for now, so i would love any suggestions for each place.

I love history, a bit of hiking (but not too much since i’ll be doing Salkantay trek), and animals!

Thanks in advance!!

I am going to Peru next month and need some advice. I want to take a bus from Lima to Paracas, but I want to make it to Paracas in time to do a Ballestas boat tour that same morning (12pm). This means leaving from Lima pretty early in the morning. I found a bus on Get Your Guide that does a bus, leaving at 5am from Miraflores. Only issue is you have to meet the bus at a pickup point, and I am unsure of how I would get to the pickup point from my hotel at like 4 in the morning. Do I uber? Can I order a taxi in advance? I do not feel comfortable walking as a young woman. Help!

While in Peru, I'd like to buy myself a brimmed men's hat of decent quality and without breaking the bank. I'm looking for something practical that will serve me well, rain or shine on many a hike.

I'll be in/around Lima, Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Pachar, and Aguas Calientes while on my trip. There's a store called "Tokapu" in Cusco that looks pretty nice but I've no idea of the cost.

What recommendations have you for me, Peru?
