Even over the counter items such as vitamins can be stopped by customs when shipped by courier and they ask the recipient to present a prescription from a Peruvian doctor at the offices of the DIGEMIN. It's a huge hassle and would be especially so in this case, since it is experimental and a doctor...

I have my son who is going to visit family in Lima, Peru. He is a US citizen that is 11 years old and will be traveling alone and received by family. He will stay only 6 weeks which is within his allowable tourist VISA limits. He will then fly back alone after his visit. The immigration website say...

Well you are almost right. Caricatures ARE inspired by real things, not usually. Caricatures are not as similar as live horses and lizards are, as you stated.

Hi everyone When we arrived last year, our house had a supply of firewood and it was a very welcome thing to have when the weather got chilly.

I looked back at the order, my package was shipped from an Amazon fulfillment center in Jeffersonville, IN, USA within hours after I ordered. DHL was the 3rd party courier.

Yes, it was definitely unexpected to say the least. I have no tricks really, though I do think there are a number of factors that lead to this. Such as the seller themselves, the product, whether they use "Fulfilled by Amazon.com" or not (some don't), and where the Amazon warehouse is loc...

Besides being ignorant of Spanish, can you legally work in Peru? You need a CE or citizenship.
Are your skills on par with Peruvian standards?
