BUDGET/EXPENSES

Ok Ladies! This section will be where we will post the expenses. Lets look at each City and figure out the costs and we can narrow it down to which city we'll be visiting. I'll keep the task of editing this blog section. :)

Our Google spreadsheet:

Feel free to add. :)

MAP OF PERU

Yes, Eka. I know you know how your country looks like. :P But us wary travelers *raises hand* don't. So here we go...

I would love to visit as many cities as we could

Woohoo! I see Cuzco!

SEXY WOMAN

Or as it's locally known.......Sacsayhuaman. I've been reading up on this, and apparently that really is how it's pronounced!!! LOL!

It's located 2k outside of Cusco. So, it seems like a given that we'd visit the place, right?!


MINIMUM LENGTH OF STAY: Cuzco Day trip - several hours?

I GOT YOUR BACK

THE INCA TRAIL

We're thinking 1-2 day trek if we do this, correct?

Lemmings........DISCUSS!!

EDIT (from Maddi):
oooo... we should read info on this site: http://www.andeantravelweb.com/peru/treks/incatrail2.html
(Kiki comment: LOL! I just came to this blog to link up the exact same site, not knowing you already had! ahaha.)

Summary:

-Expect to pay between US $200 and $250
-Peak season is April to September so they recommend you make reservations 4 to 5 months in advance
- Site describes what is/is not included in fee and provides an itinerary for Day 1 and 2

(Sorry, Kiki. I didn't know where else to put this. Feel free to delete. I won't be hurt. LOL! And sorry Eka/Kiki if you've read this info already. hehe *hugs*)

Reasons to go to AC:

*opportunity to see Machu Picchu sunrise/sunset
*it has a cool name
