Wife and I are going to be spending 8 nights in Peru next March. Here's the (very rough) skeleton outline of the destination/hotel itinerary we're considering. Welcome any and all feedback on hotels (as well as routing), please
On arrival in Lima, fly straight to Cusco and head to Sacred Valley.
3 Nights Sacred Valley (Tambo del Inka)
2 Nights Cusco (Belmond vs Inkaterra vs. Palacio del Inka?)
Hiram Bingham train to MP
2 Nights MP (Inkaterra seems to be a favorite over Belmond SL?)
On our last day, we'll take the HB back to Cusco, take a 1pm flight to LIM and have dinner there (Central? Astrid Y Gaston?) before heading home the following morning. Probably staying at b hotel.
Another alternative we're considering is cutting a night at TdI and adding a night in Lima at the end (for a full day), though the city doesn't entice us as much as the SV/Cusco area for this trip, so leaning toward spending most of our time out there.
