The Park of the Reserve or the Parque de la Reserva is a

park located in downtown Lima. Built in an irregular shape, it
is located between two of the city's principal streets, the
Paseo de la Republica expressway and Arequipa Avenue.
Along the seawalk in the Miraflores district is Larcomar, a
multilevel entertainment, food and shopping megacomplex
that caters to most tastes. The entrance is on Block 6 of
Malecn de la Reserva, across the street from the JW Marriott
hotel. Larcomar has breathtaking ocean views
When Lima's traffic and grit get to you, head to the artsy
coastal neighborhood, Barranco, home to Lima's best nightlife and the site of a handful of excellent small museums.
Playa Costa de Miraflores (aka Waikiki), good for surfing!
But polluted. If you really want beaches, go south of Lima.

Cusco's Boleto Turstico

Cusco's municipal tourism (Calle Mantas 117-A) office sells a tourist ticket, or boleto turstico. It is your admission to 16 of the
most important places of interest in and around Cusco. The full ticket costs S/130 for adults and S/70 students with ID and children, is valid for 10 days.
Accommodation
Lima Centro has its share of hotels and budget inns, but most people head out to the residential neighborhoods of Miraflores,
San Isidro, and, to a lesser extent, Barranco. These barrios are more convenient for nightlife and shopping, and probably safer, if
not necessarily much quieter. Be on the lookout for any hotel that tries to charge you the 19% IGV (sales tax) on the basic room
rate in addition to a 10% service charge; foreigners and nonresidents with the passport to prove it should be exempt from the IGV
(but not the service charge).
(Loki Hostel (also known as Incahaus) - Avenida Larco 189, Miraflores. Located on the edge of Parque Kennedy, opposite
McDonalds. Some private rooms are available but it is largely dorm room accommodation. From US$8per night).

Chifas::Chinatown (Barrio Chino), southeast of the Plaza de Armas and next to the Mercado Central (beyond the Chinese arch on
Jirn Ucayali), is a good place to sample the Peruvian take on Chinese food. These chifas, inexpensive restaurants with similar
menus.
Cevicheras: Plenty of restaurants offer ceviche, but you really have to go to an authentic cevichera for the true experience. In
addition to Segundo Muelle and Canta Rana, another worth checking out is Punta Sal, Malecn Cisneros, block 3, at the corner
of Trpoli in Miraflores.
Drinks: pisco sour to start, followed by chicha morada or a bottle of curiously neon-yellow Inca Cola.
Safety: Take MARKED taxis only. Pick pocketing is common. Callao is dangerous, so stick to the main roads. Theres internet access in Plaza San Miguel.
Huaraz: 300km north of Lima, 8 hours by bus. Most important hiking/ trekking/ mountain climbing place. Includes PARQUE NACIONAL HUASCARAN. There is a few to stay in the park.
Nazca lines: If you wanna do them, youll probably have to fly south to Arequipa and go from there.
