    Should You Travel By Bus In Peru?

    November 26, 2019 /

    Even though we’re experts at the airport, we know there’s more than one way to explore Peru. Travel by air is not the cheapest method by any means.

Here are the 3 situations where you absolutely should, and 2 where you’re better off high in the sky. 1. When you’ve got plenty of time If you’ve got weeks on end to travel, then the bus suddenly becomes far more attractive.

    What do you miss from home? Part of the expat experience is hanging onto a few cherished things from where you call home. For most people it is food. For the rest, it is usually television. Most English speaking expats are from the United States. This post is geared towards them. Whatever it is, you want safe, affordable and reliable options. You want to watch current movies, series and or live television from the US? If you want to watch Netflix, Hulu, Disney+,  or Amazon from the US, you are going to have to use a VPN.

    AeroPeru Returns to the Skies

    November 11, 2019 /

    If you’ve never heard of AeroPeru, don’t feel bad. They haven’t carried a single passenger since the dawn of this millennium. But, once upon a time, AeroPeru was the country’s flag carrier and number one airline. Now, the airline is back and looking to re-enter the Peruvian domestic air travel market. With the recent death of Peruvian Airlines, the timing couldn’t be better. But is this airline truly back to life? And what caused it to fade away in the first place? The History of AeroPeru AP flew through Peruvian skies between 1973 and 1999. For the most part, it was a huge success. The airline could take you to…

    Spring has Sprung in Lima, Peru!

    November 5, 2019 /

    How’s the weather during November? Having survived the unending grey of the Lima winter we recently welcomed spring. The weather is quite pleasant, warm and sunny. The high during the day is a very pleasant 72 with an overnight low of about 65. Along the Costa Verde Highway surf rentals are back for the season. Surfers are flocking to the beaches. It’s shorts weather again! What can you do in Spring? It is a fantastic time of the year to bike, ride a bicycle, hike, or just take a nice long walk. Other things that are popular this time of year are having a barbecue with friends on the rooftop…

    What Is The Lima Pass Card?

    Tenured veterans of Lima know how disorganized transportation has been here. A recent arrival might look around and see a semblance of normalcy. Buses stop at bus stops, route numbers are labeled on signs, and people wait in line dutifully. But it wasn’t always this way. Before the Lima Pass card, prior to the Corredores, and many projects ago, public transportation was a total mess. It’s still got a long way to go. But some of the recent changes to the system have had a massive impact on transportation efficiency in Lima. Today we’ll talk about the Lima Pass card, the latest innovation in Lima’s public transportation. How Does the…

    How Much Does Gas Cost in Peru?

    If you’ve ever contemplated getting your own car or you’re considering renting one while you visit Peru, then you might have wondered: How much does gas cost in Peru? And just why is the price what it is? We’ll cover that, and more. How the Price of Gas is Determined To start, let’s be clear that when we say “gas”, we’re talking specifically about good old fashioned gasoline. My apologies to the English, but we’re not calling it Petrol. We won’t be getting into GLP or GNV, liquefied gas products that can also be used to power your vehicle, in this article. Like anywhere else in the world, gas prices…

    October 14, 2019 /

    As of October 4th, Peruvian Airlines is no longer operating in Peru. The company announced its decision via an official communication, which has since been circulated across every medium imaginable. The shut down will have consequences for travelers in Peru, as well as the many Peruvian residents who used the airline regularly.

The company blames the Peruvian government, specifically SUNAT, the tax collection agency. At the heart of the dispute was the cost of two planes that the airline had imported to use in Peru.
