    Planning on heading to Peru in Mid March, but from what I'm reading the weather might not be too good?!

    Can anyone tell me what I can expect at this time of year?!

    It's better than Ireland anyway...

    I loved Peru (not a big fan of Bolivia though). The advice I can give you is to go on the Inca Trail....it's a little extra added to your price-tag but I can tell you that it's worth every peso. You're going to go through hell and high water during the couple of days and you're going to wish you could just get a helicopter off the bloody mountainous jungle at times, but that last day.....wow, when you come over the hill and look down at Macchu Pichu....a view you'll remember for the rest of your life.

    It's a real experience, just take your time...most of your group will be running down to get the tour around...but we didn't. We told them to go on without us and we stayed at the top for as long as we liked. We crawled down and made a whole morning of it. I'm not a religious man, but it's a very spiritual feeling have battled through pain for a few days.

    Cuzco is such a lovely little town too. Explore the old places, lanes and gardens....the brick walls. It's oozing with history. You feel something special when you consider that this was the place where the conquistadors marched through. You can find the old Spanish soldiers buried under the plaza's church with all the gold they confiscated from the natives (the thieving bastards). It's relevantly inexpensive as far as I can remember but I haven't been there in 5 years.

    Puno is awesome too but a day there is enough. Go to see the floating islands.

    I haven't been to Lima so I can't speak on it.
