recommend doing the 2nd most expensive rail option with Rail Peru. The cheapest doesn't have a good view from the cars

Pretty sure we're on the cheap one. The "expedition" through Peru Rail.

If you want to eat like a true local go to a Chifa restaurant. It's Chinese-Peruvian and is surprisingly good.

Drink lots of pisco sours and Cuzquena beer, but be mindful of the elevation.

Also, there's a great family owned shoe store near the Capitol building in Lima They hand make dress shoes and boots. The shop is ran by an LSU alum from Peru. L. Vallejo is the name. Ask for Leonids and tell him you're from LSU and he'll take care of you and tell you stories of his undergrad days.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try to hit up Leonidas.


Do any of ya'll speak Spanish? And if not, how easy was it to get around without it.
