    Hostels in Peru

    Banks aren't allowed to sell you u$s unless you have 'permission' from AFIP. How is that not telling the truth? The transactions done at the Casa de Cambio will be without documentation,therefore illegal.... I'm not saying it doesn't happen. If you have bank account in Argentina and have...

    Fuse boxes and how to change fuses

    I don't know what a 'crabtree' is. Are you in an apartment or a house.

    Machu Picchu

    Compared to Cuzco I personally don't think Lima is worth much time, one night before and a night after Cuzco. Check out the Polvos Azules market and the San Cristobal view point (regular buses leave from just off Plaza de Armas)
