The Internet
Peru has good Internet connections, with cyber cafes and Internet cabins in the most unlikely of small towns breaking down barriers of distance more effectively than the telephone ever did. Lima and Cusco have abundant Internet facilities, closely followed by Arequipa, Huaraz, Puno, Iquitos and Trujillo; beyond that it gets a little patchy, but the odd public access office or cafe does exist and many hotels now offer access too. The general rate is $1.20-1.75 an hour, though thity- and fifteen-minutes options are often available. One of the most widespread and professional service providers in Peru is RCP (Red Cientifica Peruana; webmaster@rcp.net.pe), who have a Lima office, as well as one in Cusco where they offer inexpensive computer-to-telephone international calls.
