Anyone here know anything about Peru?

[enlisted person]

Hi, I don't post on here that often any more but I know there are people from all over that get on here from time to time. I might be going to Peru for a couple weeks on business and I have some questions for someone who has been there recently. They are putting in a new plant down there and I will be assisting with start up and so I don't think I will be in the touristy areas so I am interested in someone who has lived there. Thanks

Don't carry any jars of marmalade into the deepest, darkest parts, or you'll get mauled by insatiably hungry bears.

All I know is that they need to cheer up.

South of Mexico somewhere I think. It also has a mostly nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere.

Guinea pigs are a delicacy.

I'm not kidding.

Every time I see the name of that lake, I hear Beavis saying it.

Avoid the shining path where the gorillas live.

^Wrong continent?

I was being a tad silly.

The Shining Path guerrilla movement is pretty much defunct, but pockets of bandit activity still exist.
