A big hello to all jolly forum locals and passers by!

My name's Nastya and I am a (slightly insane) world traveller. Peru's one of my favourite countries and def. one of the best (most adventurious) travel memories. I am honestly truly envious of those of you who are still to experience this *hilarious* place!

I do clearly remember spending quite lot of time trying to plan out the best itinerary in the very short time available (I had mere 12 days overall, which is nothing)- yet these were some of the most adventurous 12 days of my life).

So. The important thing - the itinerary. I did a full circle, solo - Lima (1d) - Paracas/Ica (3d) - Nazca (0.5 d) - Arequipa (0.5d) - Puno (1d) - Cuzco (1.5d) - MP (1.5d) - Sacred Valley (2d) - Lima (1d). And if I was to do it all over again, I'd do exactly the same route / time allocation except for Arequipa which definitely deserves MORE time (and Ica / Paracas maybe less time, but I found a jewel of a hotel / winery there which was an entertainment of itself and a highlight of the tour).

In any case, I've recently started a travel and adventure blog (my little obsession now) - so you can check out the impressions and pictures for yourself here, and hopefully this helps with travel planning:

Thanks for sharing love your photos and memories, Peru is right near the top of my favorite country, ever!

So, mlgb, do tell, which country is at the top?

mlgb

LOL...probably Bolivia. Peru is a very very close second.

crellston

Good choice! I agree entirely. We have been talking about using Sucre as a base for a while next year.

My plans for Galapagos may be sinking so I may be around for a chunk of May/ June. Who knows, a chance to swap horse tales?
