Tom ! Havve a great trip! I have done this back in the late 90s, but drove the Panamerica to the Nazca lines in a nice 1966 Olds f85 Sedan taxicab, powered by a Nissan diesel engine, all day trip booked in a travel agency in Miraflores, but you may get a really worn out Kias with for tires bald as eggs or a or maybe a 1970,s collectivtivo Dodge Coronet (completely knocked down "CKD") fom a plant in Lima that used to assemble them ie with Peruvian tires, batteries, glass for Peruvian content,) '84-85 Toyota minivan that failed safety checks in NJ, shipped to Lima via Miami, etc., err, it's pretty much luck of the draw. [I] guess there are finally flights now from Cusco, hey fought against it for years from Jorge Chavez intl from Lima, as they took away from tourist trade to Macchu.


Today tour th Gold Museum in Monterrico and the Mall at Jockey Plaza in San Ysidro, quickly if time, shopping fantastic, cc usually accepted. Cuban good cigars are great gifts, get a few montechristo #1s from @ any farmacia, colorful Peruvian blankets beautiful and cheap...

take the avenida Arequipa kombi bus to presidential palace worth it, great food all over --- but buy bottled water

have fun, Tomas! look for "milky" chocolate bars, best in Peru, not even exported! 18k jewelry great quality in Miraflores, nice prices usually but bargain, too ------ for it, at the jewelry stores! are they called joyerias, I think?

Jim

Ride to Ica via Lima ought to be uneventful. about 10 - 15 minute flights by Cessna 172s over Nazca lines no waiting, about $129 bucks...
