Some I'm considering --
Arrive Cuzco, train to Machu Piccu and then to Titicaca and La Paz Bolivia by Train/Ferry. Either fly straight to Santiago Chile from there, or continue overland to Arica and fly from there. (Anyone try Arica)

If you decide to go to Machu Pichu - you should DEFINITELY do the three day hike to get there. You will appreciate it so much more. Porters will carry just about everything for you - and people of all levels of fitness were doing it while I was there. La Paz is a brilliant city, but make sure you go on the prison tour while you are there. Titcaca is well worth a visit, and I recommend you spend a night on one of the islands in Titicaca with a local family ... this can be organised locally.
