Work hub is Lima (sea level). Cusco and the valley are altitude and tourism; Arequipa is a calmer second base.

• Lima - Miraflores / Barranco / San Isidro, coworkings, UTC−5
• Cusco - ~3,400 m, Machu Picchu, short tours vs remote work
• Arequipa - ~2,300 m, soft landing before Cusco, cheaper than Lima
• Sacred Valley - Urubamba / Ollantaytambo, acclimatization
