Peru Travel Deals: Machu Picchu Tours – Self Guided
September 26th, 2009 | 
Author: If you are going to Machu Pichu, this is a great guide book. Take it with you so that you have a good understanding of what you are looking at.
sorry the button is so big!
Amazon Review: If you are contemplating a trip to Peru which includes a visit to Machu Picchu, do yourself (and anyone traveling with you) a favor and get this guide. It enables you to conduct your own tour of the site, seeing just what you want to see and not what a guide wants you to see. We went to Machu Picchu with this guide book and a guide, spent the first hour-and-a-half with the guide getting a “lick and a promise” at a dozen or so points chosen by the guide, and struggling to hear and understand what he was saying. When he was finished, we took off on our own with Ruth Wrights self-guide and spent the next two-and-one-half hours seeing and understanding the significance of things we had walked right past in the guided tour (and getting the correct information on things that the guide had provided incorrect or semi-correct information on). As a bonus, the book has a large number of color and black-and-white photographs that are really useful after you return home in correctly titling your own photographs and having the correct explanations for them if viewers have questions about things in your photographs. Although the book is not pocket-sized, it will easily fit into a small pouch so it can be carried while visiting the site (and thats what its intended for — I read it on the plane on the way down and found it not to be that helpful without the site in front of me, despite the fact that it is well illustrated). The Wrights (Ruth and her husband Ken) have spent years working with Peruvian archeological experts to explore, map, and understand the site and this book give you the fruits of their labors. Highly recommended.

Peru Travel Deals Tips: Flights to Peru
Before you begin your search for a good travel deals to Peru, there are some guidelines we suggest you follow to secure the best travel deals.
1. Be flexible with when you can travel. If you can travel Monday-Thursday, you may be able to get a cheaper flight. Non stop flights to Lima are the most expensive. Breaking up the long flight with a connecting flight (eg Quito in Ecuador) may save you money.
2. Booking flights on-line generally saves you money.
3. Last minute travel deals are becoming increasingly scarce. It now seems that booking early ensures you get the best deals.
4. Book your travel for off-peak season (avoiding, for example, the Northern Hemispheres key summer holiday periods) to find exceptional travel deals and getaways.
5. Travelling on holidays, such as Christmas Day, New Years Eve or July Fourth could save you quite a bit of money, as people will generally be reluctant to travel on these days.
6. Compare prices from several airlines to determine which will offer the best price or provide specific travel deals.
