| As far as travel goes I'm pretty well-rounded. I | | | | Chifa Kun Fa |
| have visited almost every single state in the US | | | | El Suche |
| plus I have visited a few other places as well such | | | | Expensive - |
| as Italy, Rome, Australia and, you guessed it, | | | | Astrid y Gaston (International/Peruvian) |
| Peru. If I had to make a top ten list it would be | | | | Las Brujas de Cachiche (Peruvian/Criollo) |
| incredibly hard considering there are so many | | | | La Hamaca (International/Peruvian) |
| beautiful places to visit on the planet but, if I | | | | Restaurant Huaca Pucllana (Nouveau Peruvian) |
| absolutely had to, I would definitely pick Peru and | | | | La Rosa Nautica |
| place it somewhere between Japan and Rome. | | | | El Seorio de Sulco (Peruvian/Criollo) |
| Peru is located in South America and is home to | | | | Hotels In Peru |
| nearly 29 million people. However, large this may | | | | Mid Range - |
| seem just think, there is about 6 billion people on | | | | Mami Panchita |
| earth, so it's just a small fraction! | | | | Hostal La Posada del Parque |
| Peru is the "land of gold" and the sun worshipping | | | | Hostal Torreblanca |
| Incas, in fact Peru was the major source of | | | | Luxury - |
| treasure for the Europeans and was once home | | | | Country Club Lima Hotel |
| of the largest empire in the entire world. Most | | | | Las Americas |
| individuals visualize the country as mountainous, | | | | Sonesta Posada del Inca El Olivar |
| but many are completely unaware of the | | | | Swissotel |
| incredibly immense desert coastline and the vast | | | | If you are looking for attractions, should see |
| amount of tropical rain forest. The Andes which | | | | landmarks or want to know if there are any |
| are over seven thousand meters high and 400 | | | | special festivities going on, it's a good idea to visit |
| kilometers wide, ripple the entire distance of the | | | | the official Peruvian website, however, I am |
| country. | | | | actually capable of giving you a heads up about a |
| Planning a trip to this country is of course cheaper | | | | few places I visited when I was there! If you are |
| than a trip to say, Europe, but how you spend will | | | | into Museums the two best places you can take |
| depend on where you are and when. Most guides | | | | a look at are Museo de la Nacion as well as Museo |
| tell you that you should be able to get around on | | | | Larco. The first choice, has a lot more exhibits, |
| just $10 to $20 a day, per person. A good meal | | | | but the second one also includes some really cool |
| can be found for around $3, transport is incredibly | | | | exhibits anyone would be lucky to take a gander |
| reasonable, a comfortable double room costs | | | | at! The Indian market located in Lima is |
| about $10-35 a night, and camping is usually free. | | | | considered to have the largest collection of |
| Expect to pay a little more than usual in the larger | | | | market stalls than any other market in the |
| towns and cities, and also in the jungle, as many | | | | country. If you are looking for more expensive |
| supplies have to be imported by truck from other | | | | types of items you can also visit Miraflores on |
| regions. | | | | Avenida Petit Thouars blocks 51-54 as well. |
| Some of the best places to visit and stay in Peru, | | | | Also just as a little tidbit of extra info the wet |
| are listed below: | | | | season months are October - April and the dry |
| Restaurants | | | | season months are May - September, there is of |
| Budget - | | | | course some rain during the dry season but its |
| Restaurant Machu Picchu | | | | much more frequent in the wet season. If you |
| Cafe Restaurant Accllahuasy | | | | want to visit several different locations in Peru it's |
| Govinda | | | | a good idea to travel in and around the dry |
| Mid Range - | | | | months because sometimes the rain makes it |
| L'Eau Vive (French/Peruvian) | | | | difficult to travel in. All in all, Peru is a really great |
| Raimondi | | | | place to visit if you are looking for a vacation. |
