  What is the weather like at the end of April? What type of clothing should we wear?
  Anonymous user answered:

  That's the tailend of the region's rainy season (and what a rainy season it was, with fatal mudslides at the end of January), which hopefully spells clearer skies, sunnier days, and... drumroll... fewer crowds before the tourist rush really sets in. Here's a link to some gear and advice for trekking in the region from an Away.com editor who was there last July: http://bit.ly/9ekC8u

  Has anyone been to Monkey Island in Peru? We are planning a trip there for this August...
  Anonymous user answered:

  I haven't ventured to Monkey Island myself (although now I'm intrigued), but according to my research it seems to be a tourist attraction; however, an interesting, fun attraction for visitors who love wildlife. It is a sanctuary for monkeys who have been treated poorly in other situations, and the monkeys have been placed on this island for protection. You will probably have the chance to see monkeys during your trip to Peru whether you go to Monkey Island or not, but if you are especially keen to see all sorts of types of monkeys, it may be a good addition to your vacation!

  What to do in peru?
  Nathan answered:

  That's a broad question - but as an avid hiker, you can't go wrong heading into the mountains. Cuzco is the gateway to the Andes, and also the starting point for the Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu. Check out Mountain Lodges of Peru for trips that offer an alternative hiking approach to that South American icon. Machu Picchu does not disappoint. And the small town of Aguas Calientes is kinda interesting. Lima is...a bit polluted if you ask me, but they have some cool spots along the coastline, and the ceviche is properly world-renowned.
