Breakfast
is free at the hostel every morning. No
more than $3.00 for lunch. Wouldn’t buy anything due to limited space. $12.00
for my dinner and drinks. |
Visit
Jockey Plaza, rated one of the best shopping experiences in Lima. I think in
doing this I could get to see both the tourist aspects of Lima but also some
local experiences as well. After
visit shops, I would go back to spend the remainder of my day hanging out at
the park, Miraflores Central, which is right across the street from my
Hostel. I would try to walk as much as I can but would have to take taxis or
local bus transport as well. I
would eat as close to the Hostel as I can most nights. Night one I would eat
at El Tayta, just a short 10-minute walk away from
where I am staying. This is a somewhat fancy restaurant and would be a little
more expensive. |

Free
breakfast at hostel This
tour would take up most of the day. Sightseeing throughout Lima Referring
to the local map of restaurants near my hostel (in image on previous day) I
would just walk across the street to try Peruvian McDonalds. I have heard so
many stories about foreign places and differences in menus, so I would have
to try it. |

is free at hostel. Take
a trip to historic Larco Museum. I would get to se some of Peru’s finest collections from ancient Peru.
After viewing the museum, I would stay in Lima’s main square to have a look
at the nation’s capital. After
a long day, I would once again stay local and try the Peruvian KFC to see
changes in this American chain as well. |

$2.50
for lunch $5.00
for dinner Show
costs $6.00 |
Free
breakfast at the hostel Visit
the Parque John F. Kennedy. This day would be much slower paced and kind of
relaxing. This is the other park within walking distance of my hostel and I could spend a large portion of the day
soaking in the culture around me (yes, I know the image is the same. Just using
it as a reference). At some point, will walk to the Supermarket near the park
to pick up some fresh produce for lunch. I
would catch dinner before going to see the show at night. O Sole Mio serves
Italian style foods, so I would just have some pizza and wine before the
show. At
night, I would catch a local showing to see some of the Lima culture in
art/show. The reviews of these shows are amazing, and this would be something
very local to support. |

rental $9.00 Dinner
$15.00 |
Breakfast
at hotel For
my last day in Lima, I would a trip to the pier, Malecon, to admire not only
the ocean, but also the boardwalk and all it is home to. I would most likely
rent a bicycle to travel it faster, costing 30S or $9.00 for three-hours. I
would take a taxi from Miraflores to the pier, which would cost no more than
$4.00. I would grab lunch from one of the stops along the boardwalk and just enjoy
the views. For
dinner, I would dine at Panchita, known for great
Peruvian food and not terribly priced. Pork chops with rice and beans costs
$10.00, plus I would have a drink to enjoy my last night in Lima. Would not
have a busy night, due to having to travel for 16 hours the next day. |

$31.90
bus fare to Arequipa |
Breakfast
is free at the hotel before leaving. This
day would be for travel and getting to Arequipa successfully. Bus trip takes
about 16 hours. Would leave Lima at 7:30am and arrive in Arequipa at 11:00pm |
At
$6 per night, I would be looking at spending only $30 for my entire stay in
Arequipa. This comes with breakfast each morning. |

|
Free
trip around the city. Grab
lunch for $2.00 Dinner
$2.50 |
Breakfast
at hotel. Day
1 would be a somewhat easy day after such a long bus-trip to Arequipa. I
would walk from the hostel to the Historic Centre of Arequipa and see the
main market. After viewing the shops within the market, I will see the Compania Church and the Santa Catalina Monastery. For
dinner I would make my way to El Pio Pio to eat
some traditional Peruvian food. They offer take out if it is too busy, but
the reviews on their rotisserie chicken are very good and very inexpensive. I
would not be out late to prep for the long day tomorrow at Colca Canyon. |

$3.50 |
Breakfast
at the hotel Visit
Colca Canyon to see the beauty of Peru and what the
mountains have to offer. There are many wild animals but most famous for the
condors that will be around during the trip. This trip also offers views of
the deepest part of the canyon. This
trip includes a meal and will take about 16 hours, with pick up time at 3am
and we would get back around 7pm. As
for after the trip, I will probably eat somewhere local again and go to bed early
after that long day. |

|
$15.00
tour includes lunch Food
and drinks for dinner $15.00 |
Breakfast
at hostel. Visit
la Mansion del Fundador-Mirabus and see the beauty
of Misti Volcano. I am partial to the beauty behind the destruction of
volcanoes and have never had the pleasure of visiting one. As much as I would
love to take a tour up the volcano, this view will make do. After
the day trip to see Misti Volcano, I would return for a local night at El Ekeko. The reviews show this place to be similar to a U.S. Chile’s chain with a pretty fair price. |

20S=
$6.00 for a daily visit Dinner
$5.00 No
cost for sight seeing at Plaza |
Breakfast
at hotel. The
Museo Santuarious Andinos
is a museum full of Incan artifacts and culture. The most famous, Juanita,
was found frozen from the Ampato Volcano. She is
one of the most bizarre preserved bodies because she still had muscle, blood,
and hair all intact. This is only a 1-mile walk away from the hostel. For
dinner I would eat at La Pizzeria de la Nonna. It
is a local pizzeria and for cheap, I could relax and eat here. A
night out on the town after dinner, marveling at the beauty of the downtown
plaza in Arequipa for my last night here. |

for dinner, $10.00 for drinks all night. |
Free
breakfast in hostel before departing for Puno. This
trip will go from 8:30am to about 3:00pm so for the most part, a travel day.
When I arrive in Puno I will check in at the hostel and then walk to the
local parks to sight see a little. There are two parks, Parque de Las Aguas and Parque Jose Carlos Mariategui,
within walking distance of me. For
dinner I would go to El Establo, a local restaurant
that is just down the block from my hostel. They are well reviewed for large
portions and reasonable prices, especially for their chicken. They also hve a decent bar scene at night, so I would be able to
catch some local night life. |
At
$7 per night, I would arrive mid-day on Sunday, June 16th and stay
that night and the night of June 17th and head to Cuzco on June 18th.

Breakfast
at hostel Depart
for Lake Titicaca at 7:15am to begin our tour. Tour consists of a boat trip
to the Floating Islands of the Uros and a trip to
the Island of Taquille. On Taquille,
I am fed lunch and able to walk the beautiful beaches, as well as soak in
some local culture. After lunch, we depart around the lake and return to the
hotel at 5:00pm. This
day is my 25th birthday, so at night I am going to enjoy myself. I
would go to Mojsa Restaurant, which is rated one of
the top restaurants in Puno. They are raved for their cocktails, as well as
creative local dishes. I wouldn’t stay out too late because he next day I travel
to Cuzco. |

$29.00 I can travel to Cuzco from Puno Diner
would be around $8.00 |
Breakfast
at the hostel The
bus trip leaves at 8:00am and arrives around 2:30pm in Cuzco. Upon arrival, I
would check in to the hostel here in Cuzco. After
relaxing from the travel, would go to Kusikuy
Restaurant, which is located very close to hostel. They are reasonably priced,
and reviews are great. Would probably get Huevos rancheros and a soup for
dinner. |
At
$7 per night, this whole stay in Cuzco would cost be $42.00. This includes
breakfast each morning. |

Lunch
$4.00 $25.00
to visit the Museo del Chocolate and make my own chocolate $6.00 for dinner meal |
Free
Breakfast at hostel For
the first day I would just sightsee around the city. There is a plaza very
close to where I am staying so I would just go there and see local life. I
would also check into local museums to see more culture in-depth. Would grab
lunch from local place, no more than $4.00. After
lunch, would travel to Museo del Chocolate and indulge in some self-made
chocolates! For the afternoon it runs $25.00. For
dinner I would go to Jack’s Café, a local American-Australian Restaurant. I
picked this place because I have never had Australian style food but would
love to try it and see how Peruvian’s make this style of food. Good reviews
on most café type foods, would probably get a grilled cheese and fries. |

for dinner |
Breakfast
at hostel Go
to visit the Plaza de Armas, the hub of Cuzco.
After reading, there is not a whole lot going on as far as shops and things
here, but the view of the historic town sells itself. Grab lunch from a small
place in town for cheap. After
lunch, I would go visit the Cathedral of Santo Domingo, a historic cathedral
which was Cuzco’s first cathedral. From here I would go back and relax for the
night because tomorrow, I do a Michu Picchu tour
and will need to be well rested. Probably snag dinner from local restaurant,
Antojitos is very cheap. |

Bus
to/from Machu Picchu town is $19.00. Machu
Picchu guided tour is $131.70. $5.00
for lunch $2.00
for dinner |
Free
breakfast at the hostel I
would leave relatively early to be there at a good time. Yes,
this is an expensive guided tour, but this is one of the main reasons I wanted
to visit Peru. If I am doing the Machu Picchu trip, I am doing it correctly. Does
not come with a lunch at Aguas Calientes, would
need to either buy something there or bring lunch with me. Would most likely
buy there so nothing spoils. Then take trip back into Cuzco. After
getting back from a long day, I would walk to Antojitos, a local restaurant
for dinner. Very cheap food, with good reviews on fried chicken and rice. I
know I had been here once before but there are no bad reviews, plus who doesn’t
like great cheap food! |

$4.00 Dinner

Breakfast
at the hostel. Leave
early to hike what would most likely be the most difficult part of my trip.
To appreciate the Incan heritage of Sacsayhuaman, reviews say you need to
walk it, not take a bus/car. The trip is accessible from Plaza de Armas and I would walk it to truly soak in the Incan
Ruins and their beauty. This
is a must view on the way down from Sacsayhuaman, Barrio de San Blas. Well
known for the craft shops within, I may grab my only Peruvian souvenir from
here. I would also grab lunch while here. For
dinner I would go to Quinta Eulalia. They are best known for local Peruvian
food and HUGE portions. Knowing this going in, I would order something small
since I would be by myself. |

$10.00 |
Free
breakfast at the hostel. For
my last day, I want to truly see the city of Cuzco in full swing. What better
way to do it then going to San Pedro Market, a market that spans for a
quarter of the entire city. Vendors here bring fresh produce as well as street
food vendors. The colors in the image are beautiful and speak volumes of the
small produce stands we see here, even in Nebraska. Would enjoy lunch here
for very cheap/snack on fresh produce throughout the afternoon. I
would close out my visit in Cuzco by eating my favorite food, pizza. There is
a local pizza shop, La Pizza Carlo, just down the street from the hostel. The
reviews of this “hole-in-the-wall” are unreal, with amazing service and
better food. Would just enjoy the |

Free
breakfast at the hostel For
the time between checking out of the hostel and waiting to take a taxi to
Cusco terminal, I would just enjoy the city one last time. Maybe go back to
local park for the morning. I
would then leave to catch bus back to Lima, which will take until tomorrow
morning to get there. Travel day. Would most likely stop somewhere for both
lunch and dinner |
