Greetings all,
I am planning a trip with my partner through South America later this year and would love any sort of advice, recommendations, 'dos & do nots' an such. Clearly, no one can tell me what I would like to do and I'm not going to be basing my trip on everyone's answers, just like to hear the opinions of the many like-minded individuals from my favourite online community.

We are flying into Peru, and making our way down to Chile, Easter Island(!) and Argentina before heading up into Brazil.
I would love to know some recommended things to do in any of these countries - and any advice on what not to do is also welcome![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I am open to taking part in an ayahuasca ceremony, but I do have mixed feelings about the idea of ayahuasca-tourism that I haven't fully reconciled. I am very interested in the use psychoactive plants and other psychedelics, but ayahuasca or no ayahuasca, my main intention is to explore the countries of this vast continent, and to seek rich, memorable and diverse experiences. If anyone could recommend good places for an ayahuasca ceremony, I am very open to giving it some more thought.
Peru-------
Should I try visit Iquitos? It looks like it's going to be a bit out of the way, but if it's worth heading there, I will make the effort to do so.
Any suggestions for things to do, or places to visit in Lima? The catacombs look fascinating, and I will be sure to explore the city, but I'm still looking for more things to do.
There is a lot of things I would like to do in Cuzco - Machu Picchu obviously, but also a few of the other ruins aswell - sacsayhuaman fortress, Kenko rock sanctuary, puca-pucara, tambomachay, Koricancha, the sacred valley and the ruins above Ollantaytambo.
Haven't done very much more research, but still want to have a good idea of what to do in the other countries.
In Brazil, I think we will start off in Manaus and head to Belem, to Fortaleza, to Recife (maybe), to Salvador and finally to Rio De Janeiro and San Paulo.
Any help whatsoever would be very appreciated - especially any advice regarding travel routes, and getting around cheaply country to country.
