Thanks very much Dave. I am worried about coverage here in WPB too but they offer a 14 day trial with no obligation (just a restocking fee). Seems unreal that there is such a plan for international roaming. Just a few years ago I paid near $100/mo. just in long distance charges to Peru. Times have c...

Greetings from the US... If anyone has a TMobile service plan allowing for international data/text/calls, please report how the quality is in Lima or other cities. The newer phones come with wifi calling enabling a user to connect to wifi and use the phone just like he/she is home in the US. But I'd...

We emailed the Peruvian embassy in Santo Domingo and they advised that my friend will need a visa. Too bad.

Thanks for the reply. I think that link shows a chart of countries and visas regarding Peruvians who travel.

I'm looking to see if Dominicans need a visa to enter Peru.

Hello All: Can anyone give me a final answer? I'm showing some websites that say residents and passport holders of the Dominican Republic need a visa to enter Peru for tourist reasons. And some websites say a visa is not needed for the normal 183 days. Maybe the conflicting information is due to a r...

Unfortunately your only options from Peru are Copa or Avianca/Taca. That being said, competition is low, and low fares are almost non-existant.

Though never in Peru, I've been victim to robbery after being drugged and lead back to my own hotel. If I knew then what I know now, it would not have happened. Rule #1: Do not get drunk. One lets their guard down in this state. Do not accept drinks from someone unless you are right there in full vi...

Although it's dispicable to charge the fee in the first place, at least a pop up warning alerts the web user about the fee, and that it is in English or Spanish, depending on what portal one has entered taca's site. I wrote to them via chat and the agent politely informed me it is government regulat...

You're free to purchase the Base Plus fare on LAN but if I could offer my S/0.02, consider Star Peru. I flew them for the first time last month and was very pleased. My roundtrip to Trujillo was $116.00 USD and I was able to buy the ticket from the US on their website. There was 1 stop in Chiclayo o...

If you have an AviancaPlus account and want to top off your balance to get to the reward level, you can buy miles 2x1 until 12/31/10. Prices are $30 per 1,000 miles but you get 2,000 miles total. Miles are credited to your account instantly. I tried it and it worked! One needs 30,000 miles for round...

I really hope the police and the fiscalia are not botching this up. They got a confession, yes, but I hope this was done according to the law and that he can't walk away from this. Meanwhile, news is reporting that he could face a maximum of 20 years for confessing. I wonder if there is a strategy t...

Avianca is a very good airline with above par onboard service. All Airbus planes are new with individual TV entertainment at each seat. Their Boeings are older and feature a movie. Connections in Bogota are easy although there is a second security screening and pat downs from the police. This can ad...

Curious: If one renounces citizenship and becomes a citizen in a country where those citizens are subject to visa requirements to visit the US, does this ex-citizen also need a visa?

Very interesting thread. I established a security measure for my mother incase she would be a victim of "virtual kidnapping", whereas my cell phone is stolen and they use it to call my mom and say they have detained me and that she must send thousands of dollars. She will ask them for a pa...

[quote="gringoinperu"] You dont go around Columbia either I dont know why they are saying that I drove from mexico to ecuador 2 years ago and it was great. [/quote]

How did you get from Panama to Colombia?

Does anyone know of any racquetball courts in Lima? I am sure there are places to play squash, but looking for racquetball.

Kelly,

I sent you an email on this site. Thanks.

I won the King Kong Cash jackpot in Tacna, once. S/. 135.00

Kelly,

Thank you for responding. Your offer sounds great. I am going to hold out for something closer to the Northwest.

Greetings! I am a 34 yo gay man from US looking to share an apartment temporarily. I will still live in the US but return to Lima each month for 6-10 days mas/menos. I'm very laid back and respectful. I smoke outside and rarely drink alcohol. I would not have lot of visitors... just my other half an...

I walked by the office on Ave. Pardo in Miraflores last week. Has anyone tried them yet? It's nice to see another alternative to LAN.

Greetings, All: I am new to this forum and signed up mainly because of this topic. I brought up the unfair LAN pricing on http://www.flyertalk.com and through a web search found this valuable website. I do plan to buy tickets with Star Peru & Taca and will send a copy of my receipt and ticket an...
