Lugares (places): Cusco, Arequipa, Iquitos. Lima, la capital, tiene cosas interesantes, pero es una ciudad estresante! Comida (food): Ceviche, lomo saltado, ají de gallina, pollo a la brasa. Bebida (drink) Pisco sour, y si te gusta la cola, "inka cola". Buen viaje a Perú, and enjoy it!

Where in el Perú? It's a huge country. Buy bottled water (it's like, 3 or 4 soles, around 1.20 us), stay away from mayonnaise, lettace, tomatos and strawberries, bring antibiotics. Try mate de coca, cerviche in a good restaurant is a must (anywhere in Miraflores, Lima). If you get to Cusco, you have to do Macchu Pikchu, but it might be closed or booked now. (Inca trail isnt the only way to get there). Buy some Alpaca stuff: blankets, scafs etc. You can get Alpaca stuff at reputable stores in Lima and Cusco. Cusco will be a little cheaper. Just don't buy it in the street or at flea markets, you can get legit stuff, but 98 out of 100 times its fake. if you go to cusco see san pedro market - before noon - when the sights and smells are fresher. also with Cusco, the altitude will affect your no matter your age. Also, keep in mind the volume of your voice. Nothing says gringo as much as a loud voice. Say hello and thank you in stores, even if you dont buy anything.

Practica usted la Salsa. Va a ser un bailarín experta cuando se vaya. ¡Me encanta Perú! Cómo dice a Juan, visite a Iquitos. Lo es un lugar mágico.

Enjoy the culture, enjoy the food, just enjoy it!!!!

Well, First of all, enjoy the food because my country has a HUGE variety of meals (like Lomo Saltado, Ceviche, Ají de Gallina, etc). Try to stay at safe places. If you are going to stay at Miraflores then you have chosen a good place. The City Centre is a nice place but I think it is not the right one to stay. If you have any other questions then do not hesitate to ask me. Enjoy your stay!
