Been there, good choice. It is really beautiful and not as badly infested with woo-woo tourists as you might think. The locals and the Peruvian park service can apparently keep them away from the town site itself, possibly by just refusing to provide meditation space or point out the harmonic nodes, and by forbidding drum circles.

Mahu Picchu is simply awe inspiring. Train there is great as well.

One often overlooked gem is Arequipa. City is in the shadow of El Misti volcano, BEST (and that’s saying something) food in Peru and a couple of hours from Colca Canyon, the deepest canyon on the planet.

If you like driving i would even suggest renting a car and driving Lima to Nazca, then Arequipa, stopping of in Pisco (spend a day getting drunk) and Ica with the reset Oasis at Huacachina and the wildlife preserve at Paradise. Spend 4_5 days doing the journey, sooooo worth it.

Sounds good. I love love Peruvian food. I need to brush up on my Spanish though. I still laugh at the time my SiL’s older sister posted photos in Colombia and I joked that she was La Patrona de Mar instead of La Patrona De Mal. I think the plan would be to fly to Lima and I’m not sure what from there. It would be a fun experience for my niece though. I think my brother would probably like to wait until his daughter is older so it’s something she’ll remember.
