Perfect week in Peru

You have to start here, get a good brief on the country.. stay a couple of days, go to Lima centro - only for sighseeing, look at the main plaza, palacio de gobierno, check out the colonial balconies and inmediately go to Museo Larco for lunch at their cafe..

Great hotel in the Miraflores centro, excellent place to stay...

There two places you must not miss in Lima - Museo Larco for a good brief before you leave to Cusco and Huaca pucllana, so you can check out how an ancient precolumbian adobe pyramid looks.
Do some shopping at the excellent aalpaca store at the museum and get some certified beautiful replicas of the most important objects of the Larco collection.
