lichinga Says: Driest climate, sun, sand, salty breeze from the Ocean.... this is the result! The desert area around Piura, Chiclayo and Paita is rich in zoological findings! Cows, small ruminants, birds, seagulls, turtles: their skulls may be found in the sands, perfectly cleaned and may...
Hospedaje Caroline: Inexpensive
anpu2012 Says: I recommend because it is 13 soles per night or 70 soles per week for private single rooms with shared bathroom. All customers are Peruvians, as are staff. You get a spacious room which opens onto a small balcony. You might get an extra twin bed even if you are solo. Each...
Yes, this is the main avenue...
lichinga Says: Yes, this is the main avenue of La Legua, a small rural centre on the way from Piura to Catacaosb. There are alot of places to eat here, it would be difficult to say it's a jst to have lunch in a village like this, more than 30°C outside, lot of powder around, but the...

Armed robbery by taxis and mototaxis
2012 Says: In Piura, as in the rest of Peru, you should write down the license plate number of a taxi (or mototaxi) before you get inside, as taxi drivers sometimes drive you to an abandoned area and rob you or signal to another taxi driver to pull him over (to arrange for you to be...
2012 Says: Bring sunglasses and shorts! The weather here is wonderful throughout the year, with warm weather and sun. Mosquitos are rarely a nuisance, so you needn´t really worry about bringing repellent. Fly spray would be a better purchase, as some restaurants are have flies plaguing...
lichinga Says: The second problem was the identification of alternative crops and the way they can be managed is not easy at all. Cotton martket is totally controlled by foreign interest and a couple of local oligopolists, so that a peasant household could never rely for their survival on...
Piura: so dry you can't imagine!
lichinga Says: Piura is in the middle of one of the driest areas in the World.Average rains are lower than 50 mm/year, but it would be easier to say there's no rain at all, other than the years 'El Niño' appears. In this flat sandy area, irrigated agriculture is practised since the...
