Tourism Services The tourism industry in the country has received a huge boost in the last few decades: major investment in hotels, new tourist routes and various services for relaxation and adventure are available throughout Peru, to suit different budgets and traveling styles.

Shopping is always fun when there's variety, safety and choices: from trendy shopping malls in the cities to handicraft fairs in small towns. Most shopping malls and stores are open 7 days a week, including holidays, from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. All prices must include the General Sales Tax (18%) and a payment receipt must be provided. In Peru it is common to “regateo” barter over prices when shopping at fairs, markets, or from street or beach vendors.

Night Life Peruvian nightlife is most vibrant in the big cities. Every day there are shows, concerts and various artistic presentations at discos, pubs, night clubs, folk and salsa clubs, theater cafés and other venues specialized in regional music for tourists.

The urban bus, known as "combi", is the main means of transportation in the cities. They have pre-defined routes but there aren't bus stops, so they stop at every corner to let passengers on and off the bus. Bus rides might be a bit uncomfortable and last a long time. Before using them it is advisable to find information about routes. - See more at: http://www.peru.travel/plan-your-trip/staying-in-peru.aspx#sthash.LEgmCRgA.dpuf
