advice on travel in South America
Hi guys,I am planning to spend about one and a half month in South America, visiting Peru( arriving Lima) , Bolivia and chile ( departing Santiago)
I would love to have some advice on where are the most go cities? Where should i stop in between Lima to cusco?? and perhaps Puno to La Paz?
Are there any must see, must stop places? I am a bit clueless right now and would appreciate some help! Thanks!
Cheers,
Rachel

Have you got a guide book Rachel? They usually have an idea of whats popular.And also what is good for one person, might not be good for another person. Be a little bit more specific when you ask.
Also, with 1.5 months, grab a flight down to Santiago from the top of Chile (domestic flight will be cheaper) as it can be a long bus ride from Bolivia to the Capital.

LuzGrylls, I agree that it's recommended to book the train in advance but ticket for Machu Picchu hardly never sell out, except those with the climb to Huayna Picchu which sells out almost every day.
