tall waves and looking for underwater life on the
long stretches of natural beaches; climb high
mountain ranges, explore deep caves, run the
longest and biggest rivers on the continent; and
there will be no lack of opportunities for the most
demanding of palates to savour the variety and
quality of Peruvian cuisine.
In the last years, Peru has
reached an outstanding
economic growth, one of the
highest in the whole Latin

„„Useful information
Transportation around the city
For transport around the city, you can use public
transport, buses and minibuses called “combis”, or
taxis. There are three types of taxis: black limousine
services available at the airport and outside most
hotels; radio taxi companies requested by phone,
and standard yellow taxis registered with the
Municipality.
©ESAN
It is NOT advisable to use independent taxis as they
offer no security.
Something to bear in mind is that in Lima there are
no taximeters and fares are settled before boarding
the vehicle, except you take a hotel or radio taxi
services.
Lima has an extensive public transportation system
covering different number of routes with various
kinds of vehicles, ranging from large buses to the
very popular and numerous small minivans called
“combis.” In addition, there are plenty of taxis.
©ESAN
©ESAN
ESAN is located in Monterrico, a residential area in
eastern Lima, connected to the central districts by
main avenues with several transportation options.
26
It is better recommended for going around the
city to hire specialized taxi companies, with tour
guides in your language, modern units and which
make all the arrengements you need, as entrance
fees or lunch.
The taxi fares are depending on the distances.
There is usually lighter traffic except during rush
hours (7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.).
Aproximately fares from:
ƒƒ The Airport Jorge Chavez International to
Miraflores district (40-to 50 soles or $20 US
dollars aprox. for two people), for 4 or more
people a van (90 soles or $35 US dollars).
ƒƒ From one district to another, Barranco to

Currency and credit cards
©Walter Hupiu
The currency used in Peru is the Nuevo Sol.
Currently (April 2013), the exchange rate may vary
from 2.70 to 2.50 soles to 1.00 US dollar. In Peru,
US dollars are easiest to exchange, although Euros
are also accepted in banks and exchange houses.
Any other currency can be difficult to change
outside of Lima. It is more convenient to have
lower soles denominations bills because retailers
may have limited change. Please note that old or
torn dollar bills will not be accepted by taxi drivers,
vendors, banks, exchange houses, etc.
The Nuevo Sol (S/.) is divided into 100 cents. The
currency includes 10, 20 and 50 cent coins and
also 1, 2 and 5 sol coins. There are bills in the
denomination of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 soles.
At Universidad ESAN, we have an ATM that accepts
all cards, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.
It is located in front of “Edificio T”. However, before
entering a restaurant check which credit cards are
accepted.
CLIMATE
Climate seasons in the Southern hemisphere (Peru)
Summer: December 22nd. to March 21st. - 20 to
29°C
Autumn: March 22nd. to June 21st - 22 to 17°C
Winter: June 22nd. to September 22nd. -17 to 13°C
Spring: September 23rd. to December 21st.-13 to
19°C
Peru is located in the Equatorial area of South
America, but its climate does not correspond to its
geographical location for two fundamental factors:
the Andean Mountain Range and the cold marine
current of Humboldt, also called Peruvian current.
The Peruvian current and the geographical relief of
Peru condition the climate characteristics in three
big areas (from west to east), the Coast, the Andean
Region or Sierra, and the Amazon area or Jungle,
each with its particular climate characteristics.
The coast presents, in general, a tempered climate,
warm in the north (Piura), a little colder towards the
center and souther regions (Lima and Arequipa).
Rains are almost nonexistent in Lima, with the
exception of winter time when the so called garúa
or chachani -a very delicate type of rain- appears.
Humidity is high, reaching up to 99% during winter.
This increases the sense of coldness.
ELECTRICITY
The electric system of Peru uses 220 volts and 60
cycles. Some four and five star hotels provide 110
volt sockets. It is therefore important to verify the
voltage of hair dryer, razors, sound systems, laptop
battery chargers, video camera recording, etc.,
before plugging them in. Should it be necessary,
110/220 transformers can be easily purchased.
SHOPPING
As a modern city, Lima features shopping centers
in almost all its residential areas. They include
large department stores like Ripley and Saga
Fallabella, and boutiques of many kinds. Prices
vary according to the brand and quality of the
product. These shopping centers include cinemas,
food courts, bookstores and drugstores.

Peruvian Cuisine is one of the most diverse in
the world. Lima was declared the “Gastronomic
Capital of the Americas”. The mixing of cultures
and the variety of climates determine the variety
of local cuisine.
Peru’s national drink is pisco sour, which consists of
grape brandy, whipped egg whites, lemon, sugar,
ice and a dash of cinnamon. In keeping with its
name it is quite sour!
©Gihan Tubbeh

Cristal. Other traditional drinks are Chicha Morada
