Earlier this month I flew to Peru with a friend simply because Expedia was having a sale and tickets to Lima were dirt cheap. We only had 5 days to explore so we decided to skip out on Machu Piccu and focus on exploring other parts of the country. If you’ve ever visited Machu Picchu, then you know what a journey that can be. It requires buses, trains, 2 or 3 different cities and an altitude adjustment, so we simply didn’t have the time to do it comfortably. I’ve put together a little itinerary of how we ended up spending those 5 days in Peru, which ended up being one of the best trips I’ve been on.
