Hey all, would you recommend doing Cusco in March? Kinda out of with the weather but not sure where to go after Arequipa

Hey! Still there?

hello, I'm in Miraflores, Until 10th of march, if anybody around and wants to hang out, I'm here

DM to coordinate. I'm staying next to the new pedestrian bridge in-between Barranco and Miraflores

We're in berranco.

Hi all, do you know how much time do USA citizens get when visiting Perú ? Do they ask for returning flight when arriving these days?

I'm working with information from last year, however, as a US citizen who has been to Peru a bunch of times, it's always been the same for me. You show up, they ask when you're leaving. The airline will check a return flight, but migraciones usually just asks for the date you're leaving. You will receive up to 90 days in Peru, but often you only get 90 if you ask for it, and they might push back a little... why are you staying so long, what are you doing here, are you working, etc. 60 days in my experience seems to be the 'default'... like there have been times I was only coming a few weeks and told them that, and rather than giving me 14 days, they just gave me 60.

Thank you for this info! It's really helpful 👍

Hi everyone, anyone in Miraflores/Lima right now?

magdalena

Hey everyone! I’m in a small beach town near Arequipa. Anyone in the area?

Heading to Arequipa next week if anyone's around

You should stop by Kafi Wasi coffee shop. Their Cacao Nitro Cold Brew is soooo delish.

Any other recs? 😊

I lived in Arequipa for 11 months and the following must be tried: Rocotto relleno( if you can handle some spice the dish is native to ARQPA), Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, Pisco Sour cocktail, Chicha Morada

Yanahuara Plaza for Queso Helado or to chill and grab a cup of coffee

Climbing part way up Mt Chachani or Misti

Colca Canyon (1, 2 or 3 day trip) - 1 day will be spent all in the car tho

Take the next items with a grain of salt as I lived there 10 years ago

Misti Pizza was great and had my favorite Chicha Morada

Mundo Alpaca to see animals and learn about the textile production

Oh def!
- Queso Helado from Dona Rosa on the second floor of Mercado San Camilo
- Pasta/Pizzas: Il Caffe Della Nonna, 13 Mojas, Pasta Canteen
- Coffee shops: Kaffeehaus, Kafi Wasi, Berakah Coffee, Masamama
- Chachani was so fun and challenging to trek but really cool experience
- Try a Saltena near the mercado. They are empanadas filled with potatoes and meat.
- Go to Yanahuara during sunset. It's so pretty there.
- Not sure if you're staying in hostels, airbnbs, or hotels but if you stay at the Hampton Inn they have hot tubs on the rooftop that you can use. Beautiful views from up there.
- Try pastel de papa at a restaurant not at the mercado.

Lovely! Thanks

None of them in Brazil ? 😒

If you rank by these 9 criteria, apparently not. If you do the same ranking for November - January, then you will for sure have to include some cities in Brazil.

Do the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu if you have time! Epic trek

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are looking for a place to stay for 3–4 months—anywhere is fine, as long as it’s nice and has a workspace.

Do you know of any good places for this?
