Quick Tour Guide to Peru

1) HOW TO GET THERE

• Entering Bolivia via the Copacabana-Puno route (called Kasani Paso – Control), you can also do the Desaguadero alternative from La Paz.
• Via Chile, the entrance is by Arica (to Tacna)
• Another option is via Ecuador; there are several, either by the coast (Huaquillas), Sierra (Macará, La Balza), or jungle via river (Coca-Rocafuerte).
• From Brazil: Via Tabatinga Iquitos by the Amazon River or Iñapari to the south (road through Puerto Maldonado).

It all depends on which trip each one makes.

* FOOD: Ceviche, Lima cause or potatoes to the entrance huancaína. They say that food is one of the best foods for the soul. And Peru, a country to prove it. Sweets like the sigh Lima (own of the capital) and the cremolada (very common to the north, in many fruit flavors).

The markets are an inexhaustible source of vegetables and fruits, great to stock up.

The beauty of Peru is that it has everything: jungle, Sierra, and coast. There are trekking tours (Sacred Valley, Arequipa, and Callejón de Huaylas are ideal) and visiting museums and ruins (Peru is an open-air museum pre-Hispanic cultures).
