Tuesday, March 24th Peruvian Shuttle was 10 minutes early and we were ready to go. An interesting 45 minute rush hour ride to Jorge Chavez allowed us to take in the march to work by average Limoen's through several middle class and poor neighborhoods was quite enjoyable. Avianca made sure things weren't perfect by putting us on a bus with no A/C for 20 minutes. Good thing I'm an easy going fella! I'm on the flight to Mexico City as I write these words.......Visit Miraflores if you get that chance! PROLOUGUE
The rental market for Miraflores will run about $1500-$2500 per month for an ocean front Condo with balcony. If you don't require the ocean view, stay off the Malecon and it can be significantly less.
My advice is to visit VRBO, AIRB&B, Home Away or other on-line rental sites well in advance. If you are staying a shorter period of time there are a plethora of 3+4 star hotels that can be had for $60-$70 a night. The Marriott is sensational and $180.
Our place had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a nice kitchen. It was $80 per night for a 2 week stay. For 2 months it will be $1500 per. Remember that everything is negotiable and typically there are no utility or internet charges. If you are wondering about Machu Picchu, we simply put it off until next time. We have decided to return for at least 2 months. The MP trip takes about a week to do it right.....with Cusco and Lake Titticaca as part and parcel. Our next trip down here will include Montevideo, Uruguay for sure, and maybe Valparaiso, Chile.
