So exited! I am going for a 16 day road trip from Lima to Machu Picchu and the Altiplano. 

I will be taking a DSLR and two lenses (24mm f1.8 and 85mm F1.8), I am expecting loads of photo opportunities!

Hi: I had been there many times so, please, let me suggest to take a larger lens such as 270 or more. There will be many opportunities for to use it. As an example, opposite to Machu Picchu is the Huayna Picchu but it is not ease to access to it. You can take some photos from the sun's temple in Machu Picchu but you will need a larger one.

Close to Cusco are the sacsayhuaman ruins. From there you will have also a magnificent view of Cusco, a larger lens will be very handy.

Near Lima the Pachacamac Ruins are also amazing.

Same if you go to the altiplano and the islands of Uros (Titicaca lake). You can visit one of them but the others you only will be able to see them from the boat.

If you can, as it is very close, visit the "Puerta del Sol" in Tiahuanaco. It is actually in Bolivia but near the border.

And if you like the wildlife you will need it for sure.
