Your experience with dentists in Lima, Peru?
Hello dear reader, I would like to ask you if you (visitor, expat, tourist...) had a chance to use services of dentists in Lima, Peru. I am happily considering to travel around in Peru and to have my dentistry work done. I checked several websites (and I found few) - they all offer superb info! The thing is: I would like to read from those who experienced this first hand. Thank you for your time, ideas and suggestions! Be well and be happy :) Martin

I am trying to access live tv from the USA over in Peru. Is this possible?
In particular I want to watch sports so I have been trying to use websites like ESPN 3 and others but it will not work. Maybe there is an issue with the server?

It works for me. Have you been able to use it before? ~ I know that some sites only work for people who are located in certain areas. ADDED; From the ESPN 3 site; ESPN3 is available nationwide, but you must subscribe to a participating high speed internet service provider.

Plugging in US laptop in Peru -- do I need an adaptor
Plugging in US laptop in Peru -- do I need an adaptor?
The laptop's plug seems to fit into the the socket. The computer works. But I have heard that Peru has 220 volt AC, whereas the US has 120 volt AC. Will I damage my compuer by plugging it in?

Almost all of Peru does have 220 volt AC. So it will depend on your laptop's power supply. If it says 100-240V on it, then you'll be fine as is. If it says 110-120V, then you will need a step-down transformer or converter. As you've noted, plug are the same; so you won't need a plug adapter.
2 :
It depends on your charger. Look at the block part of your power cord. Mine says "input of 100-240V" therefore I would not need an adapter. If yours has a similar range, you do not need an adapter, otherwise you do.
3 :
As others have said, check the adapter... Just wanted to add that sockets are not always grounded (they might have 3 slots, but the domestic type usually has 2 - and they fit either the flat kind of plugs or both the flat and the rounded type), so you might want to bring a small socket adapter that allows you to plug it in 2 pin sockets...

What do they have at the pharmacies in Peru
What do they have at the pharmacies in Peru?
Hello folks, I am going to peru to stay a while and I'd like to know what they have there to treat insomnia. Here in Canada I been taking a pill composed of 5 grams Oxycodone and 325 grams Acetaminophen and it works really well to get me to sleep every night. Does anyone know if this is available in Peru? Or what else is available in Peru that is similar? Thanks

I don't know if in Perù there's this medicine, but in almost every pharmacie you can find a doctor to help you, and there are almost the same medicine you can find in Usa, but sorry, you can't carry with you this composed?
2 :
write down the name of those and just tell them that you are looking for that or something similar. Im peruvian born and raise there. and I think they must have it, if not at least an equivalent.
3 :
Pharmacies in Lima are well supplied, I am sure you will find what you are looking for. You may be asked for a receipt, but in most pharmacies it is not mandatory. Notice that most medicines are available with the original name and with a different name (the same medicine but cheaper, they are called "genéricos"). "Inkafarma", "BTL" or "Fasa" pharmacies are available everywhere in Lima. Good luck!
4 :
Certainly you'll find that medicine in Peru, it doesn't come with acetaminophen, the brand names are oxycontin, oxyrapid, oxydonna, it comes in 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg. the other truth is that you won't be able to buy it without a prescription because as being oxycodone a narcotic, it is of restricted sale, it means you have to present a special kind of prescription (not a common one), they will retain the prescription and will enter you in a database of patients requiring narcotics. Not the best idea to use a narcotic as a sleep pill. Try some relaxing infusion as wawasana relajante or maybe counting sheeps will help.
5 :
get a local Chaman. He might help u out.
6 :
There are so many things in peruvian pharmacies for you to sleep. And you dont need a presciption so just go to Fasa and order something. And why dont you bring your pills from Canada? Are they illegal?
