A friend and I have a trip through Argentina and Bolivia planned for dec/jan of this year (and the next :0)) but we also want to go to Peru, for which we don't have lots of references.
We would go in through Puno from La Paz (Bolivia) and we obviously want to see Machu Picchu. But where to stay? How to get there? Where and how to book the excursions to Machu Picchu from Cusco? We have plenty of info from the internet, but we'd like to hear the opinion of someone who has actually been there. Is it worth it to make any kind of reservation from here, or should we wait until we're there. Are the markups in prices very significant if we book our trip from here?
After that, we'd go to Lima, but we don't want to fly. What companies have buses that go from Cuzco to Lima? where to stay there?
Do we have to go to the north of Peru for good beaches (not just for surfing, we want to swim and have the pretty white sand and all :-P) or are there beaches closer to Lima worth our time?
