Peru Travel Blog with Experiences & Tips for Your Individual Peru Tour
Are you currently planning your first trip to Peru? Then I'm here to help you find the best tips for your journey. I also wanted to travel to Peru for a long time, but it never quite worked out. Time is often too tight, and the elevation differences are significant. You need to take breaks to acclimatize.
Peru offers everything: coast, mountains, jungle, and deserts! Of course, I wanted to visit Machu Picchu, but I also wanted to explore lesser-known places like Kuelap, and Choquequirao.
In addition to the multi-day Choquequirao Trek, we also hiked the Lares Trek. We also visited the Rainbow Mountains.
I didn't have enough time to explore Lake Titicaca and Colca Canyon. I will also visit Arequipa and Paracas on my next trip, which I already have in mind!
Enjoy my travel reports and tips for Peru here on the travel blog!
