Welcome to The Ultimate Peru List

Welcome to The Ultimate Peru List
I originally created The Ultimate Peru List, or UPL for short, on Dave's ESL Cafe as a result of the emails I received requesting information about Peru. Later, it became stickies on Expat Peru, Living in Peru, and ELT World.

Although I don’t pretend that this has all the information you will need to know about Peru, it’s pretty comprehensive. I have decided not to thoroughly address some issues, such as Tourism and History, because of the abundant information available for these topics. However, in these cases, I have given some basic information and websites which should help you get more information.

The internet has plenty of information that it can almost be overwhelming. Here are some websites I recommend as they have present their information in an organized fashion and contain useful information about Peru. From bus schedules, to hotels to legal advise, history, and tourist attractions, these websites will be able to help you out.

The Ultimate Peru List caught the eye of a writer for Viva Travel Guides and in January 2007, I was asked to contribute to their Guide to Peru book which came out in November 2007. As a way of thanking me for my help, my name, Sharon K. Couzens de Hinojosa, was published under the Special Thanks section. I have also been asked to contribute to their Living in The Andes book which is set to come out later this year. Also, The Ultimate Guide to Teaching in Peru came out in April in Transitions Abroad.

The UPL kept getting longer and longer and more difficult to read on forums, so that's why I created this.
