The most important thing to me would be a second body. Not only as a backup, but to avoid changing lens. Protecting the sensor is a real necessity in most of those places.
I never visited Peru but I've been in the Amazon forest, Atacama and Patagonia. Long glass is more important then fast glass, I would say. Below the canopy in Amazon is very dark, so it's high ISO anyway. The 55-200 should be enough. Count on bad weather, even in august, so I would take the 16-55 instead of the 18-55. Not a large weight difference, in my opinion.

Yeah, for the rainforest the 16-55 would be a good choice. And I agree about the weight there. But for MP, I've been told you feel every ounce that you carry.
