Advise on travel to Peru?

I have always wanted to go to Peru. I have some graduation money to fund a short trip (7-10d), I would like to pay for portions for my boyfriend also. I need to do as much as I can for as cheap as I can. We are big on adventure and nature.

Any suggestions or advise...? I ordered Frommer's guide to Peru... on its way.

Thanks!

Vist : Lima(downtown, miraflores and barranco) Macchu Picchu, Puno, Canyon Colca..if you want some jungle go to the Manu Park.
Peru is very cheap, speacially for eating and sleeping, the tours, well is better that once you get into the towns, you ask around for a travel agency, this is high season so they try to charge more (try to work the prices down)
Good luck!!

i disagree with the last poster about the hostels... there are loads... check out www.hostelworld.com ...
...but i do agree that the Inca Trail is a must!
Book your adventures while in South America, as when u do it over the internet they often charge more.

Good luck and have a blast!!

A 7 day trip is about a short as you would want to go, but I would go as long as you can afford. The cheapest way is the traditional backpacking trip. I don't remember many hostels in South America, but there are plenty of very cheap hotels...works out the same. You have to kind of go native, eating in local restaurants, riding on buses and such. It is hard to tell you more unless I knew what your situation was. If you can afford, you should do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Not sure it fits your budget, but no one should go to Peru without doing so. If that means you need to wait until next year then so be it. Believe me, if you go to Peru and not to Machu Picchu, you will regret it until you go back. You need to book that portion through a government registered tour guide as they are the only ones who can take you there.
