Jesus Is A Streaker
Dec 21, 2005

Hey, in Mid-August I'm going to go to Peru for free (my Dad needs to go on business, so he's making it a family vacation). We have a fairly packed itinerary through his company, but there is a little bit of lee-way, especially towards the end.

Some questions -
1) What's the nightlife like in Cusco? From what I've read its alright, but is going out alone (I'm the only one in my family 'of age') a legitimate possibility?

2) We are also staying at Puerto Maldonado, but we have a choice of lodges there, Posada Amazonas or Reserva Amazonica. Has anyone seen either of these places? Suggestions?

3) I really want to see the Nazca(sp?) lines; how accessible are they from Lima? Is it a possible day trip, or am I going to have an excuse to come to South America again?


Just as a little background, every year my father's company has a recognition celebration for their top salesmen, and it is part of his job to do a site inspection of the various hotels and attractions, this time it happens to be Peru. As much as I would like to stay in a hostel, we are actually going to be staying in pretty nice hotels (my mom would probably start crying if we stayed in a hostel or cheap hotel :( ).

As a basic itinerary, We're going to spend 3 days in the Sacred Valley/ Machu Pichu, 2 days in Cusco, 3 days in Puerto Maldonado, and a day in Lima.

Any suggestions would be fantastic.
