First time South America itinerary

false

hello a bit about the type of travel i like. I don't like big cities unless they feel not so overwhelming, I like good food, hiking, nature both wildlife and landscapes and beaches. Im australian so beaches around the world never seem to compare so I'm not that fussed with travelling for a beach. Im limited for time so will be flying everywhere I can to cut travel distances. my draft itinerary is from the 1st of November. May i ask what Huaraz is like early November? also what about Machu Picchu?

Santiago, Chile - 2 nights ( more just to recover from the long flight)

Cusco, Peru - 7 nights explore sacred valley: Humantay lake ,Moray, Ollantayambo, Pisac and Maras salt mines

Visit Machu Picchu by train on best weather day or do the 2 day hike (1 night) to Machu Picchu

Lima, Peru - 1 night

Caraz, Peru - 3 nights hike to Laguna paron and Laguna 69

Huaraz, Peru - 1 night hike to Laguna churup

Lima, Peru - 2 nights ( stay in Miraflores, experience the food and artsy district etc)

Quito, Ecuador - 1 night ( don't want to explore the city trying to avoid cities just fly in and catch early flight next morning)

Puerto Ayora, Ecuador - 1 night to make sure I'm there for my cruise departure the next day.

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador - 7 nights ( sail for 7 nights visiting Isabela, Fernandinos, Floreana)

Quito, Ecuador - 1 night ( stay around airport)

Salento, Colombia - 4 nights ( explore surrounding towns, valle de cocora and waterfalls)
