It's the world's leader in the manufacturing of Peruvians.

Yes. I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu. Stayed in Cuzco before and after the hike. Cuzco is a decent city. Nice people, walkable, good food. Touristy, though. We felt safe there, even at night.

I never left Lima's airport, but I hear it's a rough city.

Sheldon has spent more time there for work and may be able to provide more info. Oh, one more thing: you can't flush toilet paper in Peru, like a lot of south and Central American countries.

Get medically cleared and go to Machu Picchu. Start running now.

Yes I see they do. I wouldn't go anywhere you can get dinner at a pet smart.

When are y'all going to start serving those? Is it like when you pick out which live lobster you want? You just pick which furry little rodent you want grilled?

I watched a food show where they keep them in the house like pets in a cage then just snatch one up, chop the head off and cook lol.

I spent 12 years there when I was young. (1967-1979) Probably different now.

If you mean Payara, the locals where I lived called them Chambira. Small Piranhas make good bait for these.

Here is my 1st one.
