    • @felisaxo
      @felisaxo  10 місяців тому

      I choose private hostel rooms when I travel solo so I can meet people, get access to tours that the hostel puts on (and therefore, meet more people). Hostels are also cheaper than hotels! I also always bring earplugs with me in case it's a livelier / party hostel and I value my sleep haha

      @orangeyewglad Рік тому +2

      Yes as someone who has traveled there three times I've been surprised to hear that Iquitos is quite dangerous and more akin to Brazil or Venezuela in that regard. Is it dangerous in the Northern coast as well? That's one of the areas I've want to visit next time I travel to Peru. I've been to Junin, Manu, Cusco, Puno, and Lima!

    Hey so would you say the overall trip to Peru was expensive?...with so many excursions and ruins to see? I'm thinking about coming for Thanksgiving break...and roughly how many days do you think one needs to visit Piccu and Rainbow and all the other ruins?...you think 4/5 days will do? I'm a solo traveler like yourself.
    Thanks in advance.🙏🏾

      lima has a lot to offer also, paracas(nazca lines) and huacachina oasis are near Lima.
      you have to keep in mind that it`s usual to take one or two days to get used to the high in cities like Cusco, Arequipa, Puno, etc.
      for a travel around 10 days, i will say that 2000 us dollars it will be an average expend.

      if you do the inca trek its around 4 days from the start to arrive to machu pichu, otherwise, one day is enought for each destination
