Coming up this spring, it's going to by my pleasure to travel to Peru, specifically Cuzco/ Macchu Picchu. I'll be there 6 Days. Has anyone ever been there, or, even better, do we have anyone in the forum from Peru? I'm looking for advice on things to bring, any intricacies/gotcha's of the language (I speak passable spanish, but I'm by no means fluent). I plan to bring my bigger first aid kit, as it's not just for me. I'm traveling with a group of my classmates with my history teacher (school sanctioned trip, but not "by the school", if that makes sense.) I've learned that people have an astonishing propensity to hurt themselves in stupid ways, and I'm rather clueless as to the quality of medical care in Peru. Also, does anyone know where I could get reliable information? I'm thinking I need to contact the Peruvian Embassy, but do you good people have other ideas? Thanks in advance for all the help.
