Peru with its wealth of history and diversity of natural wonders is a most affordable destination – if you plan well. It’s prime Inca attraction, Machu Picchu, celebrates a centenary of discovery in 2011. This guide (from a travel expert) has many unique and detailed cost-saving tips to make your Peru trip possible for a much lower cost than you could imagine. If you choose a tour group, this guide will help you manage your free time at each destination and offer additional sightseeing, shopping or eating options that are not covered in your tour. This profusely illustrated guide also gives you enough information to plan your own tour with local tour companies once you get to Peru.
The variations in topography and culture in Peru require more pre-travel preparation than a trip to North America or Europe, and the preparations you need to make are not explained in enough detail when you sign up with tour groups. The moderate overall cost and exotic venues described here make a trip to Peru well worth the effort, and your visit will be much easier and much more affordable with this guide. Air fares can be made to stretch further if you combine this trip with a trip to adjacent Ecuador and offshore islands – the Galapagos or an alternate. Trip preparation details are itemized in the following pages with many color photographs, so that you can easily identify all listed attractions.
A well-planned trip to Peru will leave you feeling that you have taken a much longer vacation, seen the most interesting sights for the time you have spent there, and have got the most value for your money.
Even if this book does not inspire you to book a trip to Peru right away, the history of Inca gold, intrigue, treachery and cultural collision between the Old and New Worlds will keep you fascinated from cover to cover.
