Awesome Marek! Happy 2018 and incredible post that helps me a lot planning my journey to Peru this summer, thank you! One big question, the Rainbow Mountain is one of the new attractions out there, how come that you haven't been there? I am still not sure if this will be a great tour as many say it's pretty tough. But I found an alternative on Tripadvisor and maybe this could be helpful but I'd like to hear your opinion too. Look here how they compare both treks. Can you somehow relate to that?

In reply to Pavel. Hey Pavel! Thanks :) I think you'll be going through the shoulder seasons in most those countries which is great. Once you get to Bolivia you might find yourself at the start of the rainy season there. But given that there's many different elevations and climates within Bolivia you should be able to work around it. Seems like a good itinerary!

Hi Marek,
Thank a lot for all what you do. I have already your book and it is amazing.
Im planning trip for 2,5 months (October-mid December).
Start in Nicaragua for 3 weeks, fly to Ecuador, stay in Ecuador 10 days, Peru for 3 weeks, Bolivia 3 weeks.
Do you think so that is good time for weather?
Thank you, take care.
Regards Pavel

In reply to Zan. Hey Zan. Well, you can just turn up, as there's tons of hostels and you can always find a bed somewhere. But it's worth booking 1 step ahead as you travel (e.g. booking something for, say, tomorrow or the day after in your next destination) just so you can pick the best hostel and know you'll definitely have a bed there.

Hi, I’m planning on backpacking solo in Peru this summer, do you recommend booking hostels in advance (Cusco, Lima etc) or just turn up and pay on the day?

Marek "Theft not a coincidence"-- I was very very careful with my stuff! You have good tips, and I like your blog. cool photos and write-up! Also Here are my recent adventures in the Amazon, hopefully it inspires people to go for eco-tourism and helps preserve the jungle! ... huge trees of the Tombopato Reserve and ... the macaw clay-lick on the Tombopato River of Peru hope it might help!
