Tips
Taxi: call a remisse service. I'ts a little expensive but it's secure. If you want to take a public taxi (not remisse, but independent at street) don't take the first public taxi that you ask for, probably he will know or suspect that you are tourist and will charge you a little bit more because of that. You can ask for a discount. Short travels in Lima in a taxi cost like S/. 5 to S/. 10 (5km or less), long travels (5km or more) S/. 15 to S/. 30. At province citys the cost are cheaper.Recommendation
Perú is at autumn. In the coast there is a lot of fog and humidity. Sierra it's more clear and warm, but cold at night. Take a wardrobe accord to the season and the city.Practice your spanish. The accent it's important, practice with some spanish songs from peruvian music bands.
Leads
Check google maps to learn where are you near at, learn the name of the principal streets, take note from some phone number for emergency.Warnings
Be carefully, you know that the problem of public security it's from every corner of the world, so you need to be carefully. We are very charmin people with everyone but always exist some undesirable people that take some advantage from the distracted ones. Be modest with your technological devices (camera, laptop, cellphone, etc... ) and not to be a victim from a assault.Good luck, have fun!.
