Tips for a visit to Peru (Cuzco region)

Dear all,

 

This coming summer (late July to mid-August), I will be visiting Peru with three friends.

 

In addition to spending a good week in and around Manu National Park (Amazon and Cloudforest), we will be heading into the Andes Mountains for a period, including the Sacred Valley.

 

We are currently looking for tips on spotting mammals. Not so much for specific locations (although those are welcome, of course), but mainly for tips and advice regarding local customs and safety, etc.

 

We think it would be fun to go spotting for a few nights, but it is the first time in South America for all of us, and that is a completely different ball game compared to Europe. The plan is to rent a car and drive ourselves, and besides, none of us speak Spanish…

 

I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Kind regards,
