Airport Transfer 24 horas
Arriving in Lima can be rather intimidating, as the airport is a long way from the centre and the taxi touts can be very aggressive.
For this reason the hostal Pukara offers a competitively priced (check your guidebook) $12 ( 35 soles) taxi service; the driver will collect you from arrivals (with a sign bearing your name!) and take you directly to the hostel. If there are more than three people in your party,
we can arrange a mini van $25 dolares to collect you.

Languages: Spanish, English, Quechua, Aymara
In some areas of the highlands in particular, English is rarely spoken. It may
therefore be useful to learn a few words of the indigenous languages; even if you do not need to use them, it will always be appreciated if can thank someone in their own language.

As soles are a "soft" currency, American Dollars are widely accepted. You can pay for most things with dollars and receive change in Soles. This may not be possible away from large urban centres.
Better change your dollar when you arrive to the hostal.
