I have 14 days to spend in Peru, anyone has any suggestions on how should i spend it?..
Reply to this hi
well i'm from peru and in 14 you can visit lots of places, depends what kind of "environmetn" you want to go, now is summer and the most beautful beaches are in the north of peru, mancora, zorritos, punta sal..but if you dont like too much the beach, you can go to the mountains, although now in the peruavian andes is "the andean winter" because rains a lot, same in the jungle, you can to iquitos ( jungle) manu , cuzco definitelly, puno, wow lots of places
hope you have fun here in lima

Reply to this The Inca Trail will take you around one week, with aclimatising in Cusco for a couple of days. I would definately spend one week of two doing that. It's unforgetable!
Reply to this Hello , I recommend you the following :
Peru has three kind of regions coast, valley, and jungle.
For coast : Mancora, Punta Sal and Zorritos beach. they are very nice beaches.
For valley : The Huaylas valley, 400 kilometers north of Lima, is a genuine quirk of nature, with its impressive scenes of wild countryside, and its colorful valley formed from the Black and White mountain ranges.This area of high peaks is a favourite of mountain climbers from all around the world.
Or you can go to the famous Cuzco !! The sacred Valley and Machu Picchu
For jungle: Puerto Maldonado city, the biodiversity capital of Peru. During the trip , you will see along the riverbanks caimans, turtles and other species of animals.
Reply to this Definitely Cuzco, and do the Inca Trail. It's a lifetime experience, and it will take more than a week because you need to aclimatise first and then trek your way up the Sacred City. With the days left there are at least 5 great places to go, may be you'll have to choose one: Lima, which is a fantastic city; Puno and Lake Titicaca; Ica/Paracas with a flight over the Nazca lines; Iquitos; or Puerto Maldonado. If you need specific information, hotels, prices, tours, etc, access traveldm.com and contact a specialized agent.
Good luck!

Reply to this Don´t miss out on Trujillo in the North. There is Chan Chan, and the Temples of the Sun and Moon (Which I found more interesting then Macchu Pichu). 15 mins from Trujillo you can stay at the beautiful beach town of Huanchaco with their famous reed boats. The Inca Trailm and the amazing mountains around Cusco can´t be missed, and Arequipa offers a great comfortable city and the worlds deepest canyons.
Good Luck
Reply to this The typical route and more logical is to start in Lima and go south to visit Pisco, Ica(huacachina), Nazca and than head on to arequipa (cayon de colca) and than to cuzco and machu pichu. And you'll have seen the highlights of Peru. Just missing the jungle, but in 14 days ain't got enough time. Better chill out.

I just come from there travelling around, i stayed like 15 days around, i visited lot of interesting things in north, south and jungle, and i explain it quite detailed in my personal blog, there is couple of articles in english, one from machupicchu and another one from iquitos and amazonia, check mochila de arquitecto, all the otherones are in spanish but you can see some photos and practice your spanish😉...
Reply to this In fact 14 days is not a big term for Peru. But it is enough to visit the main tourist's places of the country. Firstly I would like to suggest to visit Cuzco (as for me the greatest place of Peru), then u can go to Ica and Lake Titicaca. Also can visit Tumbes and Huacachina. Please see some photos of Peru and decide what is better to visit =)

Reply to this I don't know if you made it there yet or not, but my girlfriend and I did it in 3 weeks, we were able to hike the Inka trail, which someone mentioned is a lifetime experience, visit Lake titicaca, Arequipa and spend 6 days in the amazon.

Reply to this Hi tracee,
I saw your website: fantastic trip and wonderful travelogue!!
Reply to this msereno: Thank you! You definately were able to pull off the main parts of Peru in 15 days. We didn't get a chance to see the Nasca lines and really wanted to. I guess we will just have to go back sometime. You captured some beautiful pictures.
