Feeling lost in our plans, help!
Hey folks, my dad and I booked some last minute flights to Lima June 1-8, and I’m having a hard time planning the trip.
Unfortunately my dad (74) is terrified of heights and isn’t much of a hiker any more. This means Cusco is out of the question. We both love road trips and exploring rural areas. Right now here is what we have planned. Lima for 2 nights, renting a car June 3rd, driving down to ica/paracas for 2 nights, and then back to Lima as our home base for day trips within 2-3h drives away. We originally wanted to do the nazca lines, but it does seem far and all the tours or reviews online that I’ve seen are saying it’s worth going if you’re passing through but not worth it otherwise.
Here are things we can do:
- love to eat unique and interesting food
- love wine
- love history and culture
Here are things I (31m) would love to see
- mountains and valleys (if accessible by well paved road that would be amazing)
- picturesque views
- unique experiences not found anywhere else.
I know we’re missing out on a lot of major attractions, but since we’re limited by our mobility and ability I’m trying to find things that are still truly Peruvian.
I will also add that we’re both well travelled, and have had the opportunity to see most of the world (my first time in South America though!)
Thank you in advance, any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
