I'm planning on going to Peru in mid 2015, to Lima and Cuzco + Machu Picchu, but I was wondering if anyone has any top attractions or places to go to in Lima, over the course of 4-5 days. Thanks in advance! :)

For the anon going to Cuzco
One of my favorite sites in the Sacred Valley is Pisac. There is a little market with food and souvenirs at the bottom of the mountain and then you can walk up and see a bunch of Incan ruins all up the side of the mountain. Of all the ruins I saw in the sacred valley, Pisac had the most impressive and extensive ruins. In Cuzco, make sure you check out Mercado San Pedro, especially the ladies that make juice! They have every kind of fruit and vegetable you can think of and will make any kind of juice you want. I stayed with a host family so I don’t have too many recommendations for traditional food, but if you want some more American foods go to Trotamundo in la Plaza de Armas. The French fries kept me going during my six weeks in Cuzco!
I am going to Cuzco in december and i'm not getting a guide so I was wondering what places there are to visit there besides Machu Pichu? And what good places to eat?

For Cuzco, they have coco tea and coco candy all over the town and that helps alleviate sickness. My friends took it and said it work. I myself got altitude medicine from my clinic and would recommend doing so, because relying simply on coco can be risky. Either way, you'll feel the difference immediately.
To the anon about Cuzco: when I traveled there a few years ago, you could take coco leaves - they had them at the airport. Supposedly they help with altitude sickness - you can also have them in tea. Everyone in my group took them and none of us seemed to get sick from the height.
Hi i am going to Machu Pichu and Cuzco in december. Cuzco is in very high altitude and i will be staying the 4 days. Do you have any suggestions to help avoid or alleviate altitude sickness?
Anyone? :)
