    try to always travel with as less luggage as you can to avoid paying to much money

    a tip that I can give is to join the backpackers' Facebook groups because sometimes they can give you very useful tips before you start traveling

Lodging

  • Arequipa, Peru

    I stayed at Selina's hostel which is a chain of hostels around the world, and as I've mentioned before I always use booking for all my reservations because it's easier to find good prices

  • Cusco, Peru

    My stay was at the hostel "Black sheep hostel Cuzco" and I can say that it is the most beautiful hostel I've been to because they have the concept of nature very clear, everything is clear and the good vibe is in the whole environment!

  • Máncora District, Peru

    I stayed in "Big fish" Hostel which is located around 1 and a half kilometers away from the city center and It is also very close to the beach!, it was comfy and I paid around US$15 per night, is not different than the regular hostel.
