Peru Trip Report (Oct 2009)
Posted by PsptJunkie | 16th November 2009
Just returned from a quick trip to Bolivia (8 days) & Peru (7 days), here's some up-to-date info for anybody else planning a trip. I'll stick mainly to logistical details...if you're interested in photos or more of a storytelling approach feel free to check the dispatches from my personal blog. Either way, happy to answer questions if you have any. As a note of preface, we had no advance reservations or bookings for any portion of this trip except for our flight home from Lima to San Francisco. Hope you will find this information helpful.
Quick note on money - had mixed experiences with ATMS in Peru in terms of maximum allowed withdrawl amounts - the one at the Cusco airport maxed out at 300 Soles ($100 USD), the best one we found in Cusco maxed out at 700 Soles ($245 USD). If you bring cash to exchange or use to pay for tours/etc, make sure your bills are in good shape (no tears, even tiny ones, around the edges).
Cusco to Aguas Calientes

USA
i'd probably be most helpful with transportation planning (train/plane/bus/car) questions. I've lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, and Nashville - and visited many fun places in between (Vegas, Austin, Chicago) so if you're headed anywhere there, I might be able to help!
