  We just headed down to Bolivia by train, and it was worth it just to experience La Paz. However, Frommers have a good page on some other highlights: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/peru/0814026233.html almost 10 years ago

  The city of Nasca really worth a visit. Besides the Nazca lines there are a huge sand dune, I think the highest sand dune in the world. Do a sandboarding day tour. Just amazing place. over 9 years ago

  Agree with Kate (above). Gorgeous scenery. Afterwards, take a bus to Chiclayo and then another bus inland to Chachapoyas to visit the huge site of Kuelap. about 8 years ago

  I spent two nights in the jungle near Lake Sandoval in a tourist lodge and it was great! I am over 60 and enjoyed every minute with guides and night walks and boat trips - I have never seen sunsets like this. The nearest airport is Puerto Maldonado about 8 years ago

  Inotawa lodge in the amazon basin. They take you on hikes, to a parrot clay lick, and caiman-hunting (you just look for them, no actual hunting/harming) about 8 years ago

  We loved the Amazon jungle. We flew into Lima, then Iquitos, and then took a speed boat on the Amazon River for ~2hrs to get to our lodge. There are many lodges closer by, but we felt if we were going to the jungle, we want a more authentic (not touristy) neighborhood and see the virgin forest. If you are interested, our trip reports are here:
