I understand there will be many cell phone vendors. We want to rent a cell phone for 14 days (can't use ours). Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the companies? Anything I should be aware of? We will be traveling to Cusco, Juliaca, and Arequipa. Also, what would be considered a reasonable rate?
There are shops at Lima Jorge Chavez Airport (Peru plaza), look at

You don't tell us much about yourself on your page-
If you're USA your GSM phone (if it's SIM unlocked) can be used to buy a pre-pay SIM card.
If you're European make sure your GSM is tri/quad band (and SIM unlocked) to buy a pre-pay SIM card as the frequencies in Peru differ from those in Europe.
I always use Claro.
Else consider buying a cheap (pre-pay) cell phone in Peru.
Thanks for your response. Sorry about the lack of details. I am from the US, but I dont want to use my phone. I want to rent a phone in Peru. I'm just wondering if there are many choices or what the best options are. My use will be very limited (just for directions, calling the hotels, or emergencies). Any more info would be great!
As nhoolb suggested, have you considered just buying a cheap phone on arrival? My experience with rentals is that for two weeks you will pay a lot more than the price of a basic mobile loaded with credit. And normally the charges for usage are extremely high on rentals. A pay as you go phone will most likely be the best and cheapest option for you.

It is not necessary to rent a cell phone. You could buy a pre-pay cell phone, they are very cheap (around 20 US dollars). In Peru the best companies are CLARO and MOVISTAR. You can use it in all the country. You can buy it in any place.

Inca Kola is a local soda. Some peruvians are proud to say that Coca-Cola had to buy Inca Kola because couldn´t compete with it in the peruvian market!!!
I didn´t like it much. It´s sweet and tasteless. But it seemed to be really popular among local people. Everywhere there were people drinking it... maybe more than Cokes... :)
Most visitors to Lima and Peru miss an opportunity to teach English to the locals and really get to know them. Each year a group of students from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida spends six weeks in the jungle research center of GAI near Iquitos.
It's a fairly simple matter to find your way around the rest of this huge, spread-eagled city. Almost every corner of it is linked by a regular municipal bus service , known to everyone as El Bussing, with flat-rate tickets (around $0.2) bought from the driver as you board. In tandem with these are the privately owned microbuses , older and smaller, more colourful and equally crowded, but again with flat rates (25¢). Quickest of all Lima transport, combi colectivos race from one street corner to another along all the major arterial city roads. You'll see "Todo Arequipa" or "Todo Benavides", for example, chalked up on their windscreens, which indicates that the colectivo runs the whole length of Avenida Arequipa or Avenida Benavides. Colectivos dash dangerously fast, frequently crashing and speeding off before their passengers have got both feet into the vehicle, and might be anything from a ramshackle Dodge Coronet to a plush fifteen-seater minibus; wave one down from any corner and pay the flat fare (around $0.4) (1 sol )to the driver or fare collector. You can catch colectivos or buses to most parts of the city from Avenida Abancay. Taxis can be hailed on any street, and cost $2-4 to most central parts of the city. It's worth reiterating that driving in Lima is incredibly anarchic - it's not that fast, but it is assertive, with undertaking happening as often as overtaking and drivers, especially taxistas, finding gaps that don't appear to exist (one reason why there are so many damaged cars).

This upscale spot is in a pleasant location overlooking a secluded park on a Miraflores backstreet.
well, how often does a non-Peruvian get real Peruvian food!! I mean I ate Swiss fondue in Lima (some of the best I've had), German food (not as good as in Germany), and Chinese food (there are very good Chinese restaurants) but I enjoyed the Peruvian. I also ate at another restaurant famous for Peruvian food and I shall have to find my photos so I can recall the name. Loma Saltado
From the 17th century(1674), this is a really nice old church.
The catacombs contain skulls and leg bones of about 75,000 people, some of them monks that used to live here. It's really pretty bizarre. They often have been stacked in eerie geometric patterns.
