What NOT to do in LIMA, PERU
If you're planning to visit Lima, Peru, there are some important things you should know. [Peru travel 2019]
►The travel credit card we use:
After traveling in Mexico for about 15 months, we decided it was time to visit another Spanish-speaking country. When some airplane tickets to Lima, Peru went on sale, we couldn't pass up the opportunity! That's what originally brought us to Lima where we experienced a bit of culture shock and made a few mistakes during our trip.
In this Lima 2019 vlog, we decided to share the biggest mistakes we think travelers are likely to make in the city. In this travel vlog, we talk about the biggest mistakes you can make in Lima, including:
- A common Lima candy you shouldn't take back on the plane;
- The local currency and how you can pay;
- The price of transportation in Lima and which is the best option to choose;
- A local beverage you should be very careful with;
- The tipping culture and what's expected;
- A big mistake you can make with Peruvian food;
- What the seasons are like in Peru;
- Heating and cooling in Lima homes;
- What the driving is like in the city;
- A big mistake you can make while walking around Lima;
- And more!
Some of these mistakes we made ourselves, and others are details about Peru or traveling in Lima that you might easily overlook. Even if you ask lots of questions and do tons of research before traveling to Lima, not knowing these helpful facts might make your trip less desirable.
We hope this information and our tips help you in your Lima, Peru 2019 travels! Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

Day in Cusco Peru 2019
Day in Cusco Peru 2019
Cuzco located in the Southern Sierras is a fascinating city that was the capital of the Inca Empire. Cuzco is a Unesco World Heritage Site and is one of Peru's most visited cities as it is the largest and most comfortable city from which tourists can begin visits to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and other Inca sites in the region.
Do in Cuzco City
===============
Go to San Pedro Market - Local market with a special aisle for entrails. Colorful, vibrant, packed, San Pedro Market is not to be missed. This market is by Peruvians for Peruvians - however, a large percentage of the shops sell souvernirs to tourists. There are juice stands serving 2 glasses for around S/ 6 and many local eateries towards the back. Try the special fruit drink, involving multiples fruits and beer!
Walk around the Plaza de Armas; the square has churches, shops, restaurants and bars backing on to it and is a great place to spend an afternoon. The historical center of Cuzco is beautiful, but you will have to deal with all the street vendors and hawkers of cheap paintings and other souvenirs. They are everywhere in and around the Plaza de Armas. They somewhat spoil the experience.
Get a massage. You will invariably be propositioned by young ladies handing out flyers advertising massages. These are legit, only cost 20 Soles+ (as of 12/18) for 1+ hour, but are not done by trained masseuses. Still, for the price it can't be beat.
Check out the Plaza de San Francisco, which is a few blocks southwest of the center, and is a great place to visit one of Cuzco's many great coffee shops. Next to the Plaza is the main market, which is fairly traditional and is a worthwhile visit. The market has a mix of stalls selling food and other household items as well as clothing and souvenirs. The Museo y Catacumbas del Convento de San Francisco de Asis de Cusco is here; note catacombs.
Play Sapo, a traditional bar game played in chicharias all over Peru. The game involves throwing small coins, called fichas, at a table with a bronze sapo (toad) attached. You get points for making it into holes on the table, and a ton of points for making it into the sapo's mouth. Best played while drinking chicha (corn beer) at a local dive. Ask old men to show you the correct throwing form, as it's difficult to master.
Talk to local store owners, curators, waitresses and bartenders. They typically know a little English if your Spanish is not good, and are generally happy to share interesting information about the city not found in guidebooks. This is also a great way to find the best places to try cuy, (guinea pig)' alpaca, and chicha. (A drink made from purple corn)
Practice Your Spanish, Limacpampa 512 Of.6, (superior.ingles@gmail.com). Get paired up with a local and with English language students from the English School Ingles Superior. Sign up for free.
Once you are accustomed to the altitude, go for a jog! This is a very humbling experience, as the hills and thin air prove a challenge to even those in great shape. It's also a good way to explore. Head east or south of the plaza for the safest places. If you're a woman out exercising, you may get a few cat calls, as this is common in much of Latin America.
Take a Salsa class (Salseros Cusco), a fabulous little salsa school offering private and group classes at minimal price at a central location. With enthusiastic teachers and a number of styles taught, this is the perfect time to polish your moves and get ready to shine on the dance floor.
Take a self-guided Cusco city tour, using a guidebook or an informative article that explains the history and significance of the Inca and Spanish architecture of the city. There are also daily tip-based city tours.
You will see women in traditional clothing walking around with baby alpaca's. You can take a picture with them but this will cost you S/5 and sometimes S/10 if there are two women.

Sights along the Road from Cusco to Pisac, Peru
Some of the sights along the road from Cusco to Pisac; Panoramas, colorful locals and Incan terraces. We had just flown in overnight, but it was a really nice drive. The landscape is amazing, glaciers in the distance, terraced hillsides and adobe villages along the river. The people are friendly, many speak English, and the dollar is relatively strong.

Tour to the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco - Peru Vacation Packages
Sacred Valley Tour
The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba river from the market town of Pisac, through the agricultural terraces that were once the engine room of the Inca empire and finishes at Ollantaytambo, an almost untouched Inca town, with an imposing temple looming over the valley.
The day starts with a walk through the Pisac markets. The town is swathed in white tarpaulins three days a week, under them stall holders compete to sell traditional artworks and textiles, huge wood fired ovens bake empanadas and guinea pigs, and the central plaza is filled with women selling fresh produce, with dozens of potato and corn varieties on show.
On the ridge above, the ruined fortress of Inca Pisac protects the southern end of the Sacred Valley while the Temple of the Sun shows the precision stonework Inca architects reserved for their most important religious buildings.
The road through the valley passes through the small towns of Coya, Lamay and Calca, and the larger center of Urubamba, surrounded on all sides by the astonishing andenes the agricultural terraces that fueled the Inca Empire, and gave the Andes mountain range its name.
The town Ollantaytambo gives an insight into the Inca way of life, with streets, houses and watercourses that survived the Spanish conquest.
The imposing ridge leading up to the stunning views from the Temple of the Sun is a string of gigantic terraces, a fortress strong enough to repel the Spanish. The unfinished temple at the top leaves you wondering how the Incas managed to move enormous rocks around the valley and up its ridges to shape them into precision stone walls by hand.
