Travel Review: Peru Vacation, Cusco, Lima, Urubamba, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu

The main thing we would do differently is reserve hotel rooms away from the street side.  We found, especially in Cusco, our street facing room to be very noisy, thus resulting in a poor night's rest.  Perhaps this could be mentioned when making the hotel reservations.  

A few other minor things:

The Lima airport is very busy.  If travelers have a late/early morning flight (ours was at 0105), the counters do not open until 3 hours prior.  We were hoping to check our bags and move freely but couldn't until 10PM.  We ended up using the secure lockers, but it was very crowded and only take soles, so important for travelers to keep a few extra (we gave ours all away as a tip, then had to change more).

May be worth mentioning, the water is not potable and travelers will need to purchase bottles of water.  We found only one hotel provided one bottle per person complimentary.  Water is very cheap so it wasn't a big deal, but may be worth mentioning.
