Peru Itinerary

For those of you wondering where I will be/what I will be doing for the next two weeks, here is my Itinerary (from the GAP website):

May 14, Arrive Lima

Arrive in Lima about 9:30PM (Calgary Time).

May 15, Free day in Lima

May 16, Cuzco

Transfer to the airport early this morning for the flight to Cuzco. In Cuzco transfer to the hotel and meet your guide. Relax or explore the Inca spiritual sites of Sacsayhuaman and Tambo Machay.

May 17 Sacred Valley / Ollantaytambo

Travel with our local guide through the Sacred Valley and visit ancient sites, including the picturesque town and Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo.

May 18 - 21 Inca Trail

Embark upon a once in a lifetime journey on the ancient trail of the Incas. Though physically challenging, the excursion is within the ability of most reasonably fit people. Each day is filled with spectacular mountain scenery and fascinating ruins. Our local porters and guides take care of the details so you can focus on the experience—and save your strength! On the final day, climb the steps to Intipunku, the 'Sun Gate', to watch the sunrise over Machu Picchu before our tour of the famous Inca ruin. Return to Cuzco in the evening.

May 22 Cuzco

With a friendly, colonial atmosphere, Cuzco offers nearby Inca ruins, cobblestone streets, museums, markets and churches. Active options include rafting, horseback riding and mountain biking.

May 23 - 24 Amazon Jungle

Fly from the high Andes to Puerto Maldonado, deep in the lowlands of the Amazon jungle. Travel by motorized canoe to our lodge in the Tambopata Rainforest Area, which holds the world record for the most bird sightings in one area. Explore the jungle with expert local guides.

May 25 Lima

Fly to Lima via Cuzco for a final night on the town.

May 26 Depart Lima
I depart Monday night around 9:30PM

May 27 Arrive in Calgary
I am scheduled to land in Calgary just after lunch time (after changing planes in Houston).

Hopefully I can post some updates while I am gone.
