Our next trip will start on July 24th and we are headed to Peru. Here is our basic itinerary:
July 24: Fly from Houston to Lima
July 25: Fly to Cusco (central tourist hub of Peru)
July 27 - July 29: 3-day whitewater rafting adventure on the Apurimac River
July 30 - Aug 2: 4-day jungle adventure at the Manu Wildlife Center
Aug 5 - Aug 9: 4-day Inca Trail hike to the Machu Picchu with an extra day at the MP
Aug 10: Fly back to Lima
Aug 11: Overnight flight to Houston arriving early the morning of Aug 12
We are excited and ready to go, but it is still a month away. The whole trip has been booked for some time now and we've been doing some shopping to get ready for the trip. The biggest decisions for Joanna right now seem to be what camera gear to bring.
We are traveling during the dry season, also known as winter in Peru. We will be encountering temperatures from freezing all the way up to 90 degrees, so packing light can be challenging. We will be lodging in tents, hostels, jungle lodges, and hotels. We will be without electricity and showers for big chunk of the trip which will be a lot of fun.
Check back often during our trip and we will find some internet cafes to post our adventures and some pictures.
