Peru has so much to offer, but the roads are slow and long. I have only chosen a few of the ruins and just a tiny bit of the jungle, as a prefer the deserts. Many cities and towns offers a lot of museums and churches, but I seen enough. However, the tour will bring me around the drier parts and a bit into the greenery, and as always; the drive might be the main advent. The high season is Jun-Aug. Low: Dec-Feb mainly due to rain and temperatures, I guess.
My first plan turned out to be a bit ambitious, considered the time I have. It is never the less below.
