Peru

“I arrived in Lima on February 2nd, it was hot as hell, and there was 100% humidity. I had arranged with the hotel to transport me from the airport to avoid any problems. This is where I started to know Peruvian punctuality, lol. The plane arrived an hour late, and the taxi driver had not yet arrived!!! A friend told me more or less how much a cab would cost me. I asked the taxi drivers what price they were charging to go to Miraflores, and I chose the cheapest one. When I was halfway to the hotel, I received a call that the original transport from the hotel was at the airport!”

“My first experience with Peruvian driving was with an airport taxi driver. He was a very nice man, but he was driving like a madman; he must have jumped like 7 red lights, the continuous lines did not exist, and everyone was honking all the time!!! But in the end, you get used to it! I haven’t seen any car accidents so far during the trip.”

“I read that it is cold in Cusco and Machu Picchu in many places, but I do not know if it is because I come from the Madrid winter or because my indoor thermostat does not work well, but I was not cold at any time during the trip. Moreover, I was very hot in Machu Picchu. I took a sweatshirt and a jacket that also served as a raincoat and one of the two was left over, I also took a scarf and a hat for the ride… I also have to say that there were people wearing warmer clothes, but they were people who came from summer areas.”
