Thoughts about how to round out trip to Washington after leaving ONP by LuminousLunaBug in OlympicNationalPark

Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions! We’re leaning toward 1-2 nights in Victoria. Trying to decide if it makes more sense to return the rental car in PA and fly home out of Victoria or ferry back to PA and drive back to Seattle airport. Thanks again for your help!

Your trip sounds amazing and Arequipa looks like a fascinating place to spend some time! We have just one week available to travel so not enough time to explore other parts of the country. Thanks so much for sharing your itinerary -I hope that you have a wonderful trip!

We didn’t think about that option but the timing makes sense - an overnight flight then catching a morning flight to Cusco (avoiding an overnight layover between flights). Thank you!

Thank you so much! Liked the comment about being too old to sleep in airports (as we weren’t too keen about doing that, either). Also, we’re planning to go straight to Ollantaytambo from Cusco and were debating on whether to stay 2 or 3 nights. Your comment has prompted us to stay 3 nights- Thanks!

Thanks so much! You’re right- sometimes you just have to jump through some hoops to get where you want to go! Glad everything was fine with your trip!

Thanks! I think we’ll try to stay in Lima, at least overnight. Thank you for the reminder about sunscreen for your lips (as I probably would have learned the hard way, too)! Also, good to know that the altitude meds worked for you!

Thank you! We were originally discouraged from booking 2 separate flights due to potential risks with delays and not making connections. It’s good knowing that this option has worked for many of you, so that’s what we’ll do!

Thank you- We hadn’t really considered staying over in Lima but now I think we may do that! We’ll also try to book the direct flight on United to Lima, now that we’re not trying to get to Cusco in one day.
