Nasca, you should definitely stop there and take the airplane and fly over the desert to see the lines, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

the Huacas (http://www.huacasdemoche.pe/), near Trujillo, where you can also find Chan Chan, the city of mud.

The part in Ecuador just out of Peru is also quite interesting, you'll be travelling through huge "forrests" of banana trees,

Thanks Clara

But in Peru you'll be going near Arequida and that is worth seeing.

 

For Macchu Picchu or to at least visit some of the scared valley and heart of Inca civilization that is on the East side of the country in Cusco, closer to Bolivia but I don't see you headed that way.  

 

On the coast in Peru we went to a really cool surf town in the North called Mancora.

 

In Ecuador there was also a surf town that was a bit more touristy but still a very pretty spot called Montanita.

 

In Columbia definitely go visit the city of Medelin- very cool vibe, arty, interesting.

 

In the north of Columbia we spent quite a bit of time in Cartagenia, a very cool Colonial Town but also quite touristy.

 

We then took a sailing boat across from Cartagenia to Panama...we had to wait around for over a week for a good sail boat to arrive but it was an amazing trip.  It was 5 days of sailing around the San Blas islands, snorkeling, stopping over to explore islands.  Initially the price does sound like quite a lot but you get all this great fresh food, and sailing around those islands was awesome.

 

On the coast of Panama we really enjoyed these area called Bocas del Toro...especially the boat trips you can get to these cool beaches.

 

For Costa Rica...definitely best to ask AL and in Guatemala one of my favourite places was on the foot of Pacaya Volcano which was amazing to climb and the town is called Antigua
