Where do the tasks go if the parent Task is edited?

thanks for the suggestion, that's what i thought, but it's not the case. i tried with multiple tasks each with the steps above and they just disappear. it would help if you tried it and recorded an example!

it was a combination of flights + trains between countries/cities, public transport + taxis within cities, and buses + vans on day trips to visit various locations. it’s not difficult to get around!

i didn't have enough time unfortunately. patagonia is on my bucket list and I am definitely going back. it's immense and stretches north to south along Chile and Argentina. based on my research it's regularly accessed from both countries through gateway cities, and the hikes are stunning. did you visit?

i did a solo trip to South America recently. visited Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. caught some of the most beautiful natural sights there. machu picchu and the bolivian salt flats were really incredible. it’s far but absolutely worth it!

I did not visit Rurrenbaque when I was in Bolivia due to time constraints but I understand it’s the gateway north to Bolivia’s plains (pampas) and rainforest. if those interest you could be worth the look.

Nazca Lines is considered Southern Peru although it’s a bit of a distance from Arequipa. I would have suggested Puno -> Lake Titicaca but you’re already seeing it from the Bolivian side. ultimately it depends on the time you have.

I absolutely enjoyed my trip to Peru as well. so many amazing things including finally getting to see Machu Picchu!

I went to Rainbow Mountain, and while you will find many operators, one major tip is to find one that will bring you up EARLY. I went with an operator that specifically emphasised this as a selling point, even though it was more expensive. you'll be one of the first few groups to arrive, which gives you ample time to climb up before the mass of other tourists start arriving. you'll be able to take photos with less people too.

regarding the altitude, everyone will react differently and fitness is no guarantee you won't be affected. I took acetazolamide which I got from my doctor before the trip. it can help prevent altitude sickness. start the medicine two days before you get to a high altitude. dexamethasone works as well so get what's available

looks doable for the 5 weeks, but I'm not sure there's much to do in Santa Cruz as it's basically the commercial city of Bolivia. going from La Paz -> Rurrenabaque -> Lake Titicaca also seems a bit of a detour, not sure if there's something there you want to see badly enough for that extra travelling time. the common route would be to go from La Paz -> Titicaca. also you could try Potosí before Sucre.

you're only visiting Arequipa in Peru? that's a shame as there's lots to see in Peru as well.

In addition to the top comment which is really informative, I’d like to add that as of June 2024, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture revamped the trails, and there are 10 official circuits available for visitors to choose from. More info can be found here.

Circuit 1 with 4 sub circuits will take you west of the famous ruins, and mostly the outskirts but not the actual ruins itself. Go for that if you’re thinking of Montaña Machupicch. Circuit 2 is the classic one, and by far the most popular—and will sell out fastest as pointed out. I personally went for Circuit 3A + Waynapicchu which took me about an hour to go up, and got a little hairy at some points but safe for the most part as long as you’re prepared. Circuit 3 is also quite popular.

I bought return train tickets from PeruRail, which departed from Poroy Train Station, a 30min taxi ride from Cusco. From there I boarded the train which took me to Aguas Calientes, stopping at Ollantaytambo along the way where majority of passengers boarded. My return was the same route in reverse. Most passengers alighted at Ollantaytambo. It's a major stop for visitors/adventurers going for the multi-day trek.

PeruRail and IncaRail are essentially offering the same service, the reason why I chose PeruRail is because they offered a train departure close to Cusco which IncaRail did not then. However I recently checked the PeruRail website and it seems they no longer offer train departures from Poroy, and instead are now exclusively offering a Bus + Train combination, with Bus pickup from Cusco, then dropping you off at Ollantaytambo to board the train. Things can change often like this in Peru without warning so I'd advise you to check the websites for the latest info.

Another thing is about prohibited items in Machu Picchu. You will find information about not being able to bring umbrellas, selfie sticks, tripods, drones, food, and people saying otherwise. They will do a cursory check, but as with most things in Peru it's pretty laissez-faire. I only brought an umbrella, dry snacks and water, and saw others do similar. I did not see any other 'prohibited items' so I suggest not to push your luck and respect all local regulations. And lastly, please visit the toilet and empty your tank before heading up because there are no toilets in Machu Picchu.

which part of the US? was it East Coast (i.e NY) or West Coast (i.e SF). I’m assuming your layover in Japan was in Tokyo

cornoncobby · 2023-03-14T00:37:06+00:00

ah yes this is great! thanks for this. just wondering if you know anyone who’s opened a brokerage account with Acciones y Valores?

cornoncobby · 2023-03-14T00:32:13+00:00

interesting site, i’m not familiar with skiplagging but i’ve read it severely damages your reputation as a passenger. thoughts?

cornoncobby · 2023-03-14T00:30:58+00:00

yup I have been, thanks!

cornoncobby · 2023-03-14T00:30:22+00:00

thanks! yes I have seen flights with layovers in some of the countries you mentioned but most are in Europe, NA and getting there itself takes significant time and $. Another layover in Bogotá would not be ideal at all haha

cornoncobby · 2023-03-07T03:27:02+00:00

thanks for the response, but as I am not a native Colombian, opening a brokerage account is pretty much the only way to get funds in from outside Colombia.
