We are now in Lima, Peru. We did from yesterday morning 1500 km (from Milagro, Ecuador). We will stay here for two days and two nights. After making 1300 km in Peru I can say in the name of the group that quide was wrong about the routes. It is writtin' that the roads are mostly dust roads, the gas station are infrequent and that the drivers are more or less terrible. The gas station are in cities and towns, the roads are the same quality as the country roads in USA, and the drivers... in the day they're fine. But when the night comes they change - when it's dark everybody have to put the car lights on. They also do. But the put the long lights, which are use to drive in the fog and they don't care. And after few hours of driving around long lights you get really tired.
Lima is in the process of building the day and night life zone on the beach. They already did a great, wide path, and few high level standard tennis clubs but the restaurants and bars are not ready yet. There are many of apartaments, not older then few years but no, for example... hotels. While drving 2,5 h around Lima we saw four hotels and two hostels. Thats not enough for a city with this big ambitions.
The most expencive and elegant region of Lima is Miraflores where you can find many seciurities making sure everything is ok. In the ATM machines you have an option of choosing between american dollars and peruvian sols. Choose sols, because it's really hard to pay in USD. More information about Lima and Peru soon (pictures too).
