Our 4th leg of the trip, Peru, is a land we have already spent a good amount of time in. In 2008 we explored Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titicaca, and Iquitos over 18 days. It was, hands down, one of the best trips I have ever taken internationally, and in saying that, I must acknowledge the influence it has had over us in choosing to not only return to, but explore all of South America. We were put in awe by the kind souls and vast cultural richness we experienced from the Altiplano to the Amazon.
This time around we are simply catching a few things we had missed previously, and heading through to Bolivia.We will start in Lima and bus it down to the Nazca Lines. We should not need more than a day there before heading to Arequipa, Peru's 2nd city, where we will be for around 4 days. Puno is our last stop, as Peru's gateway to Lake Titicaca. We explored the Peruvian side of the lake and its islands in 2008, so this time around we will be concentrating on the Bolivian side, most notably at Isla del Sol.
