Our Americas page covers South and Central America as well as the USA and Canada. As a result there is a huge range of issues facing travellers. In South and Central America we would highlight the dangers when travelling by bus, the depressing statistic is that approximately 700 die annually in Peru as a result of bus crashes. Dengue fever may also be a threat, in early 2010 there were serious outbreaks in Brazil, Bolivia and Guatemala.
A common to trick at Retiro Bus station. We were pre-warned and were able to avoid being robbed. So be aware......-

I found a relatively cheap but safe way of getting to your hostel. It was with a company called Manuel Tienda Leon. You will find them immediately on the left as you enter the public area of the airport following baggage collection. Cost Peso 55 - about US$13.
