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.
