Thanks Ube!
It's funny because I always travel alone, and have a blast doing so. Turns out, you can go to Peru alone, but you MUST have a guide with you while you are "exploring" .... did not realize that the kidnapping rate of white women was so high.
I'm doing two days in Lima, 2 days in Cuszo - Machhu Pichhu and then 4 days in the Amazon Jungle ... a great adventure I am hoping! (except for the spiders - I'm really not looking forward to seeing those!)
