Ashley M. Fox from Forbes magazine, a former Wall Street analyst and a Financial Education Specialist, believes that Peru is the perfect travel destination if you are on a budget.
“You deserve time off, and Peru is definitely a country that gives you a sense of adventure and fulfillment without breaking the bank,” she wrote last week.
According to her, there are five things you can do to help fit a vacation to Peru in your budget. The first is making the decision to go.
“The internal energy you feel being in Peru is extremely powerful and well worth the trip, so before you even start to think about the lack of funds, ease your anxiety by making a decision”, she advised.
You will also need to save money every month to make this trip happen. Fox says that you should give yourself at least 4-6 months to save, but if you find that you need more time, don’t worry about it.
Then, you need to book your flight. “When traveling throughout Peru, you will need to reserve at least two or three roundtrip flights during your journey. To be financially smart, purchase your roundtrip ticket from your home to Lima”, Fox recommends.
She also says that if you want to save, you can plan your trip yourself, without going to a travel agent. “A month or so prior to your trip date, book your excursions and reserve your hotels. Make plans to stay in Peru for at least 8-10 days”, she said.
Her fourth recommendation is to visit Rainbow Mountain, the Huacachina Sand Dunes, Lima, and Machu Picchu and her fifth is to relax in Cusco and Paracas.
