Description
Find your own journey. Peru invites a journey of both grand historical impressions and days out in the landscape. It is easy to fill a wish list, but a good trip also needs room between the experiences. Lonely Planet Peru provides a starting point for choosing which places and stages will form the core of your own journey.
Experiences to look forward to. The ruins of Machu Picchu, floating islands, and river rafting are among the experiences the guide highlights. The book brings together itineraries, maps, and practical advice for planning. The inside photos show the table of contents, an introduction to Peru, and a suggested itinerary centred on the historic core areas of the Inca empire. Together, they give an impression of both the guide’s scope and how it links places together.
Who is this guide suitable for? Choose this country guide when you want to explore several parts of Peru and make your own priorities before departure. It suits planning a longer trip with several stops, but can also help you narrow the journey down to a few areas. The 480 pages give plenty of room to explore the options and compare different ways of using your travel time.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience. Feel free to leave some days less fixed, so the plan also has room for what you discover along the way.
A physical travel guide is good to return to when the next stage is up for discussion. Find an idea you had noted, use the map as a basis for the conversation, and let the plans develop as you get to know the destination. The book can follow the trip from the first ideas at home to the choices you make along the way, and become a keepsake to leaf through once you are back.
