The overland trip from Puno to Cuzco
Cuzco

Sacsaywaman Ruins, Cuzco, Peru
Sacred Valley stop #1-Pisac
Sacred Valley stop #2-Urubamba (and surrounding countryside)

Sacred Valley stop #6-Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo-main ruins complex
Pinkuylluna ruins-Ollantaytambo
Long day hike to Pumamarca ruins (near Ollantaytambo)
Machu Picchu-1 (worth the hype for sure, yet still way too many people, even in the low season!)
Machu Picchu-2 (got up at 3:00 to beat the crowds=exhausting but worth the effort for tourist-free photos)
From Andes to Amazon (only 1 hr)-first day in the Puerto Maldonado area
Day 2 in the Peruvian Amazon-exploring the Tambopata Reserve (sadly, no giant river otters were spotted)
Last morning in the Amazon, and, sadly, last day in Peru (check out La Punta pics under the Lima headings for how we spent the afternoon feasting on great seafood)
