Peru
,→Personal Experiences: adding my experience
April 2022
“I spent around 5 months in Peru, Going from Jaen – Tarapoto – Tingo Maria – Lima – Nasca -Cusco – Puerto Maldonado – Brazil and again from Bolivia – Desaguadero – Puno – Sicuani – Cusco – Quillabamba – Arequipa – Chile
In general it was a great experience. Many people offered me help. I stayed in many houses and made many friends. I will divide Peru to 6 regions. Jungle which tends to be very friendly and hot.
Mountains which are super high with slow roads. People are a bit more shy but still friendly.
Coast/Desert Much bigger and faster road. People are a little bit more suspicious about travelers. After short conversation they tend to open up. Big cities, they tend to be more tense and the people are more modern and less innocent, still very friendly. And Plano Alto next to Bolivia.
I found the culture to be a mix between Peru and Bolivia. People come and talk to you, and might gift you some soda, but less invitation to homes and things like that. Talk will also tend to be shorter.
After awhile I decided I don’t want to put my thumb out anymore, and just started to walk instead,
people tend to stop to ask why am I walking and then they usually offer food, shelter and rides even without thumbing” - [[User:SonOfaHitch|SonOfaHitch]]
