Peru. Has anyone been?

Question

I am likely going in April and would love any recommendations. thinking Lima -- Arequipa -- Lake Titicaca -- Cusco ( ofc to see the great Machu Picchu)

Yes! Cusco is beautiful. I recommend acclimating there before Machu Picchu. If you dare, sip on Pisco Sour drinks... so yummy.

If you want to hike the Inca Trail reply here! I have a tour guide rec! Also, you'll want to book your tour month in advance and make sure you have one before scheduling a flight.

I did, 10 years ago. Definitely go!

I flew into Lima and then took a domestic flight to Cuzco that afternoon (it was a lot cheaper to buy that flight separately from a local company.) Stayed in Cuzco a few days to acclimate (lots to see there) and then took one of the not-Inca-Trail treks. (Lares I think?) You have to book the Inca Trail way ahead of time, and anyway it was cool to be nearly the only people on the trail.

No one bothered me as a single woman traveler in Cuzco, too, which was refreshing. Great food, amazing history, so worth it!
