Peru Itinerary Advice & Must-Sees
Hi everyone! My husband (M29) and I (F27) are traveling to Peru soon, and I’d love some advice on our itinerary. He is more experienced with hiking, while I have never hiked before. We love nature, don’t care about partying, and want to see as much as possible while still having some time to relax.
Here’s our itinerary:
📍 **Lima (April 17-19)** – Arrival + free day
📍 **Cusco (April 19-21)** – Flight in, exploring, and Sacred Valley tour (overnight in Ollantaytambo)
📍 **Machu Picchu (April 22-23)** – 2-day Inca Trail
📍 **Cusco (April 24-25)** – Rest + Rainbow Mountain (April 25)
📍 **Arequipa (April 26-29)** – Flight in, exploring, Colca Canyon trek
📍 **Puerto Maldonado or Tarapoto (April 30-May 2)** – Still deciding between the two!
📍 **Lima (May 2-4)** – Flight back, explore, then fly home
A few questions:
* **Rainbow Mountain:** Is this too much so soon after Machu Picchu? Will altitude be an issue?
* **Colca Canyon:** I’ve read mixed things—how strenuous is it, and is it worth it?
* **Jungle Choice:** We’re debating between **Puerto Maldonado and Tarapoto**. Any recommendations on which one is better for nature/wildlife experiences?
* **Extra Day:** We were thinking of adding an extra day in the jungle instead of flying out on May 2. Is it worth it, or should we use this day elsewhere in the trip?
* **Are we missing anything?** Is there something we absolutely should see that’s not on our itinerary?
* **Hotels & Restaurants:** Any must-stay places or great food spots in any of these locations?
* **Clothing Advice:** What essential clothes should we bring?
Any advice or recommendations would be amazing! Thanks so much 😊
