Peru in 10 Days: A 6 MINUTE Travel Guide

In this video, we share the ultimate travel guide and itinerary for our 10 days in PERU! We cover everything you need to know at the outset of planning your Peruvian holiday: the cities we chose to visit, transportation between cities, our favorite activities in each city, our lodging accommodations, and some of our favorite food joints.
We explore the vibrant city of Cusco, from its bustling streets to its amazing restaurants. Then, we stay at the Starlodge Adventure Suites, where we sleep in a pod on the side of a cliff overlooking the Sacred Valley - a truly unforgettable experience! And of course, we couldn't visit Peru without hiking the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Along the way, we encounter unexpected challenges and setbacks, but we always find a way to adapt and make the most of our journey. Join us and discover the magic of this incredible country!

After watching Transformers Rise of Beasts some of the shots were in Peru thought i check out a travel guide and man i am in love with Peru's scenery 😍😍😍

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Yes Peru scenery is unreal 🙌🙌

[@JossBailey-v5c]

Looks so amazing. Will never be able to afford this, so nice to watch other people’s and dream. What an amazing place.

[@kyleschwartz.]

Great mindset to have

[@sebaslp3060]

[@SetForAdventures]

Fabulous itinerary but cool that you included some of the hassles of travelling in this part of the world Best wishes Simon 🤠👍

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Simon!

[@itzanavarroramirez9270]

Un maravilla del mundo 😍

[@cuttlefishagain]

That's cool. Sometimes when things go Wrong it opens you up to other adventures. And gives you a taste of what it's actually like living in that country, in a way. I lived in France for six years and strikes/protests that impeded transportation and much much else happened all the time, ugh. Anyway, cool! I randomly had a dream about visiting Peru last night hence now am on youtube looking it up lol

[@explorinwithlaurin]

This is so true! We hope your dreams come true and you visit 🇵🇪 Peru 😂✈️

[@totalwalker]

Your video was a real treat, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@thegallivanthropologists]

Killer stuff!! I love the upbeat energy. We might need like 4 cups of coca tea on our first day, being from Florida. Who did you do the cooking class through? Subed to see more of your adventures. We are so excited to see this next month and film it for our channel. We are a father and son who travel the World to plant trees, clean beaches and teach people about culture, history, and natural wonders. Glad to find your stuff and hope you might like ours too. -Turtle

[@explorinwithlaurin]

The coca tea helped out a lot! We booked the cooking class through TASTE Peruvian Cooking Studio. Thank you for watching and for the kind words! We hope you and your son have a blast in Peru! We will check out your channel - Garret 😁

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@merlinmaginoescandon847]

Ohhhh 😮😮😮

[@jesusrivera5737]

Very nice! I'll be there for the first time for a little over 2 weeks. I'll be taking my wife and 60+ year old father so unfortunately I won't be able to do those tough hikes. I'll spend more time exploring Lima (paramotor, huaca huantille, golden museum) and its food. I'll spend a day I'm pucusana to scuba dive while my wife and father get on a boat to see the seals/penguins. Then we'll spend 1 day in Huacachina. I'll do Cusco but less extreme hikes, we'll take the bus to Machu pichu and spend a night in Aguas Calientes for the hot springs. In cusco we'll explore the city and nearby ruins, and I'm hoping to do rainbow mountain on our last day.

[@explorinwithlaurin]

That sounds like an incredible adventure! It’s so special to be able to share these experiences with family - we hope you have a great trip ✈️

My question is why fly to Miami? Are there no flights from DFW to Peru?

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Unfortunately, at the moment there are no direct flights from DFW to Lima :(

[@LyndaQuach]

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Thanks for watching!

[@nabeelash1941]

When were you guys in Peru? I'm planning a trip over the summer and wanted to make sure it was safe! I'd love your insight

[@explorinwithlaurin]

We were there in November! Cusco and the other tourist areas a super safe from a crime perspective. We did run into all the protests which were disruptive but we never felt unsafe.

[@lolabella5574]

Ten days is not enough!

[@explorinwithlaurin]

We agree! Wish we would of had more time 🙌

[@natasha5288]

Hi I loved this video we are planning a trip next year. Why is it that you had to walk 3 hours back to your hotel? X

[@explorinwithlaurin]

So we happened to be in Peru during the big protests at the end of last year so all the roads were closed for the protesters! It was unexpected but a good walk and all the people were friendly along the way!

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Hope you have a great trip!

[@carlosespinoza2453]

Great video. now protests are over

[@explorinwithlaurin]

That’s great to hear!

[@allisonhidalgo5293]

Genial video!

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Thank you!

[@ngatravelvlog]

pretty awsome, really informative thanks, keep it up

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Thank you!!

[@AnthonySodaroTravels]

Anyone else think this guy sounds exactly like Randall Park? 😂 great vid tho

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Thanks for watching! First time we have heard that one 😂

[@zahidainlondonvlogs]

Ow much was the sleeping pod per night

[@explorinwithlaurin]

👋 Hi @zahidainlondonvlogs - it was a little over $400 USD per night. This includes transportation from Cusco, Food, All the gear, activities, etc. It is on the pricy side - but we had soo much fun 🤠. Hope this helps!!

[@zahidainlondonvlogs]

@@explorinwithlaurin thank you for replying

[@notaninfluencer2037]

So did you travel 1 month ago? When were the protests?

[@explorinwithlaurin]

We were in Peru in November of 2022. The protests were ongoing for multiple months

[@ishman2222]

What spa did you go to?

[@explorinwithlaurin]

It was the spa at the Palacio del inka hotel! It was okay - we think there are better and cheaper options elsewhere in Cusco 😀

[@cdemendoza5965]

these guys went into a luxury trip..if you have money, it is the best way to do it. If you have less money, like the rest of us, there are many ways to do it

[@johnhonai4601]

I am Indian. I would love to travel to a South American country during Copa America if I make enough money. Another problem is I do not speak Spanish. I tried learning but lost the sense of purpose as my dream isn't happening anytime soon.
