So after a fair amount of research, including on this forum, I've determined that we basically just need to fly to Cusco and go from there. Based on prior travel experience, most the at home planning goes out the window when you arrive in country and start talking with fellow travelers, IMO. Sounds like we are safe and better off $-wise arranging a trek there (we intend to do a 4-5-day to and around the rainbow mountain and Ausangate). Same goes for doing a full-day at MP budget style. Maybe we try to arrange an Amazon venture, maybe just stay and really focus on soaking in that region, or plot a course for weaving our way back to Lima. Thoughts, anyone?
Any recommendations on accommodations for both Lima and Cusco? We arrive Lima 5am and not sure if we'll want to catch the Cusco flight that day or chill in Lima. (With multiple daily flights, sounds like that can be booked day of?) Say $20-50/night for room, not party hostel, but cool people to meet and authentic.
Thanks a bunch!
