Summary of memories that Charaderman met in Peru

Peru who got a permission to stay 150 days when entering the country. I spent about 3554.05 km running a country with 3 times more land than Japan from July 17th to October 9th over 84 nights. We stayed in 41 cheap accommodations, 4 nights for camping in the wilderness, and 2 nights for breakouts such as tents. A street in the streets such as Goshigoshi, Abanskai and Takuna with spoons and forks that were put out to the dining hall on a paper napkin, the name of the city in Peru, the variety counterpart of the team that is surely aired at dusk and deepened understanding in Peruvian life Once per day, I did not feel calm unless I ate jelly of purple corn called "Masamora · Morada".

Hello, I am in BoliviaTakuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. At first it was a perfect Peru, but as my stay became longer, I got to know where and where and what I could know and it was frustrating when I left the country. This time I tried summarizing the trip of Peru which became one of the memorable countries. Sloths and alpacas also crossed the road to Nasca's landmarks and Machu Picchu tourism.

Peru was running like this.

◆ Traveling in Peru
"Between the Ecuador and the Peru border We crossed the mountains of the Andes to avoid the robbery aimed at bicyclistsAs I wrote, coastal areas Piura - Chiclayo - Trujillo are noisy so enter the Peru by traversing the Andes Mountains.


I quickly took a course in the inland and ran a green area called the Selva (the Amazon). The land of Peru is roughly divided into three categories: Costa (coast), Sierra (Andean mountain range), Selva (Amazon).

When you leave Lima you will be along the coast to Nazca, but since it is dry you will have a lonesome scenery.


"How do you see Nasca's landscape in Peru from Cessna"I also flew the sky and worshiped the ground paintings.


In order to cross the Andean from Nazca close to the sea, up to 98 km is continued up to the top of the mountain pass at about 4,150 m. As for the main road of Peru, the ridge turned 90 times and the gradient was also gentle, so it was fun as if going up. Columbia and Ecuador were 3000 m classes, but in Peru passages of 4000 m class will appear normally.

◆ People of Peru
From Mexico that was in the end of last year, I have been traveling in the Spanish-speaking world all the way. I have not attended a language school, but as my vocabulary increases in my everyday life, I managed to keep talking and I enjoyed casual conversations with cheerful Peruvians. Especially, "Where did you come from on a bicycle?" The children who spoke to us, shining their eyes made crisp, can not be forgotten. I am glad that what I told you is "Because it is Japanese," will remain in memory.

◆ Summary of the trip
Meals are set around 5 sol (about 180 yen) by a set of Almuelso (lunch) and Senna (dinner) as a guide. It was around 10 sol (about 365 yen) such as remote dishes and pojerry's chicken. Marinated raw fish loved as Peruvian national foodCevicheI was eating at 12 to 15 sol (about 440 to 550 yen) as a canteen, and 5 to 10 sol (about 180 to 365 yen) at the market and stalls.

"From the fish's Ceviche to the alpaca's steak Happy with the abundant repertoire of Peruvian cuisine"However, Peru cuisine has a high level.


Cheap prices are decided by categories of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 sol and 5 sol (about 180 yen) each. At the lowest level of 10 sol (about 365 yen), the toilet shower is co-operated. In Selva (Amazon) it was often a water shower. From 25 sol (about 900 yen), the room with toilet with hot water shower will bring you a room with Wi - Fi. When traveling continues, we stay in a cheap 10 ~ 15 sol (about 365 ~ 550 yen), and when you need to stay and work, please give 25 ~ 30 sol (about 900 ~ 1095 yen) and slowly did.

A simple plus 10 sol (about 365 yen) inn.


I used 4706.50 sol for my 84-day stay, and 17,181 yen for my Japanese yen. If you fix it per day, it is 56 sol (about 2045 yen). Although I had a large expenditure with 270 sol for Cessna in Nasca's landscape, 198 sol for sightseeing in Machu Picchu, and 360 sol for Lima I went to a dentist, I was able to travel on a budget . I am also afraid of the possibility of counterfeit bills, so I draw international Peruvian currency from ATM by using international cash card. It was the highest rate per sol of 35.6350 yen, the lowest rate was 37.3825 yen. If "Banco de la Nacion" located throughout Peru, there is no ATM service fee.

It has become an unforgettable country because I ran for a long time. Because it is a country with a remarkable economic development, it will change a lot from now on. It is far from Japan, but I think that I can visit someday again.
