I'm traveling to Peru this August and couldn't be more excited. I just wanted to start a thread for people to share their Peru experiences. My general question is this...Peru seems to feature all of the following
-relatively cheap flights from the US (found $174 one way to Lima)
-shit load of nature and outdoor experiences to do and see like Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, and the rainforest among other things
-cheap but good food and bus transportation around the country
- seems safer than the Central/South American countries white tourists are scared of
..so what's the catch/downsides? Surely it can't be as magical and convenient as it seems.
