Hi,

I'm going to spend three weeks in Peru this September. I was planning to fly to Iquitos and then visit a jungle lodge from there. I was thinking about spending 3/4 nights in Muyana Amazon Lodge (solely based on the LP write up). If anyone's recently stayed there or has any other tips on travelling to the Amazon I would appreciate it.

I also want to spend some time trekking and climbing around Arequipa and the Cordillera Blanca. Given my time constraints I will probably need to arrange things before I go so I would really appreciate it if you could let me know of any reputable guides/travel companies.

Any recommendations for hostels/bars/cafes in Lima/Cusco/Huaraz would also be warmly received!

Cheers,
Geoff

PS I was thinking of sleeping in the airport the first night, any tips?

You can try to sleep in the Lima airport, but don't expect to find any benches/chairs to spread out. My suggestion is that if you have a busy next day to find a cheap place for one night- my one night in the airport really had me messed up for my next day of travel.
