An 11-day hostel-based Peru adventure from Lima to Cusco that blends coastal desert thrills, Sacred Valley gems, and a guided visit to Machu Picchu. Stay primarily in multi-share hostels, typically 6–8 beds per room, with a choice of mixed-gender or female-only dorms and optional upgrades to same-gender twin-share rooms. Some rooming exceptions may apply. Hostels are selected for local flavour. Note that occasional hot-water shortages and power outages can occur.
