My wonderful BF plans a big trip every year for my birthday. As hard has he tried to keep it a surprise, I still found out a month before! Which, turned out for the best b/c it turned out to be a pretty intense and adventurous 7 day backpacking trip (and i’m not talking about those big packs, but rather a medium sized day pack!). We decided to travel light with only our backpacks since we’d be moving from hotel to hotel every day. For a seven day trip, it was extremely packed full of activities and I thought we really made use of our time there.
Seven Day Travel Itinerary for Lima, Cuzco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu:
Day 1: Lima
Monasterio de San Francisco
Plaza de Armas
Jiron de la Union to Plaza San Martin
