I feel that every trip I've taken so far has been a blessing. I've definitely grown as a traveler and as a person, and I feel so lucky to have been where I've been. For our trip to Peru, we went for a week and concentrated our time in Cusco, Machu Picchu, and spent a little time in Lima. I had a lot of fun planning this trip, I just couldn't fathom being dropped off in Cusco with no idea of what I... Read Full Entry

We are planning to visit Peru and Bolivia in Sep 2014...
your blog provides a lot of good advice. We were thinking of booking our entire visit with a local tour agency as I heard that they get better prices for airfare, hotels, etc., they make the visits to all the sights most efficiently, and we don't speak any Spanish. I noted that you booked a tour for Cusco and Machu Picchu...why not the entire time?

Tour guide Vs Self tour
Hi Bob! Well we are fluent in Spanish, and we like the flexibility of doing tours on our own. For Peru we used print outs, basic guide books, apps etc for "self touring." There are so many tours to choose from, the tour we booked with Amazonas Explorer/Detour gave us a couple free days to self explore since we were capable. The days on the tour with the guide were helpful since it got us safely on the short Inca trail and to Machu Pichu. Hope that helps!
