Peru Adventure #1 - The Itinerary

Earlier this fall Robert and I went on our second major vacation as a couple - to Peru. We had been wanting to go there ever since I read an article saying that Peru was getting ready to expand the airport closest to Machu Picchu to make it more accessible to tourists. From experience, places that are "accessible to tourists" are generally awful, so we made it our goal to get to Peru while the majority of Americans are still a bit wary of South America.

So, we both managed to get 10 days off from work and after a substantial amount of arguing about it, I unilaterally put together the following itinerary for the trip of a lifetime!

• Lima - 2 nights
• Puerto Maldonado (Peruvian Amazon) - 2 nights
• Cusco - 3 nights
• Machu Picchu - 2 nights
• Cusco again - 1 night

Also, since we've already been there and no longer care how touristy it gets, I will now be revealing all of our secrets to a ridiculously awesome South American adventure!
