Peru

I almost made it back here in 2020; I was only a couple days’ drive or cargo-ship movement away.

Phase 1:

My first trip here involved orienting to its biggest city and most popular beach.  I was driven around in a limo, and ran off a high cliff to paraglide out over the ocean and then back to weave in between some of the coastal skyscrapers.

There were some bad drivers, a Navy base, slum-shanties all the way up a steep hillside, an armored vehicle (like an LAV-25) parked downtown outside a historical building, unstable earthquake issues (i.e. their cities are not at all prepared for any major ones), and, on that note, the big concern about their biggest shopping-mall sliding off the cliff it was built on (right down to the beach and into the ocean).  I was nervous about an earthquake happening the whole time I was up in my high-rise hotel room overlooking the city street/s.

Phase 2:

Next visit is sure to involve many of the lesser-known, ancient, giant ruins, possibly starting with the famous Machu Picchu, and ending with the 9 pyramids still hidden under the Amazon rainforest’s triple-canopy at Paratoari.  (I’ll of course also spend an ample amount of time laying pipe with all the best Peruvian beach babes.)

Phase 3:

Once the tunnel networks of those places are charted by fast-moving drones and other tech’, my 3rd expedition to this land may very well take me into the literal underground, where still-larger megalithic wonders await, maybe even still-active cave-cities and other breakaway civilizations.  There are rumors of giants, vampires, and many other special peoples here.  I plan to befriend any which exist and are compatible.  Is there a South American equivalent of Telos down here?  I will find out.

*most expensive?  Palacio Nazarenas –but website shows vid/clip of what may be an evil-deviant flag, so might need to avoid/boycott this one

“The richest neighborhood in Peru is Miraflores, known for its upscale living, ocean views, and vibrant cultural scene. Other affluent areas include Barranco and San Isidro, which also offer high-end amenities and a lively atmosphere.”

Vegan Restaurants and Stores:

  • Central Restaurante (NOT vegan, but easily veganizable)
    –Virgilio Martínez Véliz – concept of making artistic presentations of an array of edible things from all of Peru’s distinct biomes and altitude-brackets
    —documentary/episode
  • Gastón Acurio‘s restaurant/s (also prob. not vegan, but worth a try)
