"This can be tricky. First, Machu Picchu's weather is unpredictable. Often, it is shrouded in fog, especially in the early morning hours, but it's hard to tell if it will happen. December is rainy season, but lots of people still go to visit. Again, it's hard to tell. Whatever happens, you usually get a good break in the weather if you stay for a couple of hours at the site, and it will be beautiful to see, regardless. Go to !"  See More

"I can't advise on Brazil but Peru and Bolivia are fab countries - you can certainly cover some ground in 10 days although I would say that I spent 6 weeks in these countries and still felt rushed and not able to see it all. I would imagine you would fly from Brazil - let's say into La Paz and make your way over to Lima to fly out. From La Paz you would be insane not to visit the Uyuni Salt Flat, very much a highlight of Bolivia. You can do 4 day jeep tours in the region and visit some INCREDIBLE scenery (see some of my photos"  See More

Swim in the crystal clear waters, with the beautiful tropical fish, lay by my private pool most of the day, dine at their "underwater" restaurant, and just enjoy island life. What's not to love? I mean, its gorgeous! And those are just some of the reasons why the Maldives are at the top of my bucket list. Take a look: ."  See More
