Attention: Terremoto! in The South

After the devastating shock of the force 8 earthquake that shook Peru's southern coast in 2007, the town of Pisco and its surrounds have a long road to recovery. Be aware of this when travelling through this part of the country. In particular expect to find infrastructure such as accommodation and dining options changing rapidly as reconstruction takes place. Try to impact positively on these towns: help to boost the economy by using locally owned businesses rather than chain hotels or restaurants.
