Peru holiday tips

[trousers]

Seeking recommendations, tips, advice, etc, for a c.2 week holiday to Peru....

I'm not talking 'mountain trekking' or anything adventurous here... We're far too old (and wise!) for such things!

Just the usual touristy stuff... Machu Pichu, Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, Nazca Lines, Cusco, etc.

Recommended airline(s) / flight route options (given no direct flights from UK to Lima), best hotels, excursions.... That kinda thing...

Looking to go this September.

Cheers!

How to boast about where you're going on holiday without boasting about where you're going on holiday........

Holiday to Peru? Could be good but also could be rubbish.

Take plenty of marmalade sandwiches.

Must put cuy al horno on your 'to eat' list.

I'm looking at spending a few days there next January as a precursor to going on to Argentina and sailing back to Southampton so I'd be in in what you decide.

From what I can tell you need to spend a few days at altitude to acclimatise before doing anything too strenuous,  maybe in Cusco. Book your Machu Pichu slot whilst you can.

I've found this company but I don't know if they're any good. I haven't spoken to them yet.
