It is in Av. Jose Larco where good part of them are located, for that reason there is not much variation in the quotes there. The famous Larcomar Shopping is located in this avenue. We also have other recommended exchange houses at Av. Canaval y Moreyra 223, San Isidro and San Felipe Residencial, Jesús María (passing the Japanese Peruvian Theater). Capital Exchange Exchange Houses – Miraflores (Av. José Pardo) Tourist places to visit: Plaza de Armas, Catedral de Lima, Plaza de San Martín, Mirador at the Hotel Bolívar, Miraflores, Parque del Amor, Distrito de Barranco.

Work Plan – 2018 Trampoline Gymnastics Senior Pan American Championships 6 Weather: Unlike other equatorial countries, Peru does not have an exclusive tropical climate; the influence of the Andes and the Humboldt currents grant a great climatic diversity to the Peruvian territory. Currently, in the city of Lima we are in the winter season, so temperatures range between 14° (min.) And 18° (max.). It is recommended to come with comfortable clothes, coats and various garments that can protect the routine changes of temperature for the athletes. Geography: The country is located in the intertropical zone of South America between the Line of Ecuador and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is the twentieth largest country in size on Earth and the third in South America. It has an enormous multiplicity of landscapes due to its geographical conditions: the valleys, the plateaus and the high peaks of the Andes unfold to the West towards the desert coast and East towards the Amazon. It is one of the countries with the greatest biological diversity and largest mineral resources in the world. The country has fifty-four hydrographic basins, most of the Peruvian rivers drain from the Andes to one of the three hydrographic slopes of the country. In one of these basins is born the giant Amazon River, which, with its 6872 km, is the longest and mightiest river in the world. Peru contains 4% of the planet's fresh water. Gastronomy: Peru is one of the countries with the best gastronomic menu worldwide. From various dishes recognized by chefs, world cuisine and gastronomy committees to professional chefs such as Gastón Acurio, Javier Wong, among others, who are part of our impressive poster as one of the main weapons our country offers to the whole world. Taking as examples some typical dishes such as ceviche, arroz con pollo (rice on chicken), pollo a la Brasa (grilled chicken), also counting on Chinese, Japanese and African fusions in various dishes such as arroz chaufa (peruvian fried rice), anticucho de res (marinated meat in a special seasoning based on ají panca (peruvian red pepper), skewered on a cane stick and grilled) and the famous makis. And ending with some of the most delicious desserts of Peruvian culinary culture such as mazamorra morada (the base of purple corn), arroz zambito (rice with brown milk) and refresco bandera, the chica morada (soda). Work Plan – 2018 Trampoline Gymnastics Senior Pan American Championships 7 Currency: The official currency is the Nuevo Sol (New Sun), but, it is customary to speak Soles instead of nuevos Soles. Exchange rate of the US dollar: PEN 3.27 x USD $ 1 (the rate varies according to the day). This is a country where the economy favors tourists with US dollars, which is also the easiest currency to exchange in banks and exchange houses. The tickets must be in good condition, without stains, clean and whole. As a main recomendation, change your money always in the exchange houses. They may seem strange and improvised, we know, but that's the way they are. Plaques saying "Money Exchange" usually show the places exchanging money and your hotel or guide can also indicate good places for that purpose. The quotation in the big centers changes very little from one exchange house to another, something of 1 or 2 cents of new sun. Therefore, even if you do not get the ideal quote, you should not lose more than 1 or 2 soles per 100 dollars. Before making the change, always ask if the house applies an additional rate on the final value. At the airport it is normal, but outside, this rate is usually not charged. Exchange bureaus are usually open at least from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week and a good part of them are open on weekends as well. It's strange, but as a security measure, some exchange houses seal the notes before delivering to customers. The seal is small and does not interfere with anything, it only guarantees that the note is true and that the change was made by them. Even the Nuevo Sol being the currency of Peru, some tourist places can accept Dollars as a form of payment.
