We want to visit South America for the first time. We are not sure, yet, what would be the better choice: Peru or Ecuador.
Background:
So our questions are:
PS: Equal thread in the Ecuador forum.
Background:
- We want to get an impression of an Andean transect.
- We want to travel independently, that is without a driver/guide if not necessary.
- We would hire a car or use public transport (if safe when travelling with camera equipment etc.)
- "Easy" travelling (hassle free, friendly people) would be fine.
- Accomodation should be okay but not too expensive.
- We don't speak Spanish, yet, but we will take a crash course before the trip.
So our questions are:
- Which destination would you recommend for a first trip to South America and which places should we visit?
- What's the best time to go there?
- Do you have to book anything in advance (accomodation, certain trips)?
- In which places would you highly recommend taking a guide?
