 I decided to go to Peru last summer. The old mountain city of Machu Picchu rate was the main draw. I was also very excited about traveling to South America and brush on my Spanish, which unfortunately still not excited in very good shape! As a budget traveler, not quite tight, but budget was in fact there are some habits I developed there, helped me to save a few dollars or soles, if you will. I have the Lonely Planet travel guide often while in Peru. Some sections of the book are to be updated bad, but it is the most trusted travel book I've found. Through this book and my own experience I have learned that food, shelter and transit of the areas in which lower the cost of learning by creating the biggest payoff.Food are. I tend to a lot of it, that usually about three times a day. The cost of these foods adds up, especially if you are traveling. There are many excellent food options in Peru found in a variety of prices. Of the more expensive options, I enjoy thoroughly enjoy the ceviche, raw fish or covered with lime juice in Lima, it was delicious! And I felt obliged to try the cuy, or roasted guinea pig, while I was in Arequipa. I have learned that these meals are a bit expensive to be even tastier if it does not happen every day care. I started to eat more economical. Fortunately, many hotels or hostels you stay at while in Peru will receive a complimentary breakfast, although the quality and size vary. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast at the La Hacienda Hotel Puno and Home Sweet Home Hostel in Arequipa. While it's great that so many places, a free breakfast meal that tends to be the cheapest offer of the day anyway. After almost a week in Peru, my travel partner and I have the habit of buying bread, cheese, oranges and other foods from farmers' market or small shops, which were often close to where we were staying anyway. We also began buying our alcohol for these small shops, which was very expensive loss. Many times we would drink beer and play cards in the hostel we stayed and we would from other tourists by the same way of thinking were to be linked. I can not say, we lived in for dinner very often traveling in Peru, where the food is so delicious and food is so much fun, but we could start searching for cheaper restaurants and with the money we were not going to eat earlier strongly in saving the day cut our food expenses. Give to try the smaller restaurants, some of the best meals I had in Peru have fewer than five dollars.Lodging. Never afraid to ask if you can get a better price on a room. As long as you ask while smiling, the interaction tends to be positive. Almost every place I stayed at in Peru, filled with the exception of hostels in the tourist city of Cusco, dropped their price at least a little. My biggest decline was at the La Hacienda Hotel, where I said, the rate of 55 percent of what originally offered. Persistence pays off. Fortunately, in the major cities in Peru, there is usually another accommodation option within feet of where you are, if the hotel you are looking is too expensive, fully booked or not feel safe. Transit. Moving from town to town was of course one of my priorities, Peru, and I wanted to move while feeling secure. I took one of these large, double-decker buses on the road from Arequipa to Puno. I also took the bus from Puno to Cusco. These buses while perhaps more space than other bus options, but tends to be a little more expensive. I have cut costs in other areas of the transit though. I took taxis in Lima and Cusco. It is important to a price for a trip with a taxi driver before they agree to the vehicle. Please make sure that you only have registered taxi drivers, security is so important. A few times my traveling partner and I would travel with other tourists, interacted normally people we had with the journey. This works well because any money in transit and the taxi driver will also save more money.I Machu Picchu visited in the last days of my month-long trip to Peru. I did not walk the Machu Picchu trail. My travel partner and I took the somewhat expensive Peru Rail train to a town near the base of the mountain known as Machu Picchu Aguas Calientes up to. Aguas Calientes, pretty much a one lane town full of restaurants and hotels, was not the savory part of the journey. But it was great because it is so to Machu Picchu in the vicinity. Early in the morning after our arrival in Aguas Calientes, my partner and I travel on foot to Machu Picchu, which saved us money because our other option was to buy an expensive bus ticket. This hike, almost uneven stone steps set was taxing but rewarding, as we lost many views of the surrounding mountain beauty. I made cheese sandwiches the night before. We ate at the foot of Machu Picchu, before going in, they were perhaps the best meal we had while in Peru! As long as you are willing to take a little extra effort will be made in your travels, you should leave Peru to feel like you have your trip, not much damage to your wallet. The natural and architectural beauties of this country should be found to make for an unforgettable journey, no matter how much you spend.Sources: Home Sweet Home: http://www.homesweethome-peru.com/Lonely Planet Peru: http:// www. lonelyplanet.com / peruLa Hacienda Hotel: http://www.lahaciendapuno.com/

 A desert is a region that receives very little rain. When temperatures are high, the rate of evaporation exceeds precipitation. The soil is dry. These regions are called hot deserts. But there are also "cold desert." Although this is a little evaporation in places, the temperatures are so low that little rain is falling as snow. Plants can not survive in such conditions. The vegetation is sparse therefore both types of deserts and the land can not put too much. Desert is a desert species. Deserts cover about one fifth of the world's total land surface. Some deserts are like great seas of sand, while some are rocky or stony deserts.The Thar desert in India, a hot desert due to lack of rain. It is a hot desert in the world. You will find that everything is hot desert about 15 to 30 degrees Cilician Cilician degrees north and south of Ecuador. These deserts are crossed, either by the people of Cancer Tropic of Capricorn.Another function of the hot deserts are found on the western side of continents. Why is this? The reason is that the trade winds blow in this region of the country and carry very little moisture. The winds blow from the northeast which means that the continent's eastern rain. By the time the winds reach the west is very dry. cold currents also flow to Ecuador in the western sides of continents. Winds blowing over these currents get cools and loses moisture. So little rain reaches the earth land.Thus becomes a dry desert. Ecuador South of winds blowing from the hot desert southeast.The largest in the world is the Sahara (the Arabic word for desert), which is south of the Mediterranean Sea and extends across North Africa. Small hot deserts in California are in North America, in Arabia and Central Asia. In the southern hemisphere is the Atacama Desert in southern Africa and the great desert of Australia in the Year of Australia.The in a desert is dry. During the day is hot, sunny and cloudless. The temperature rises above 30 degrees sackcloth. The nights are starry, cloudless and cold. The temperature drops to about 10 degrees sackcloth. There is little or rain, which usually amounts to less than 25 cm per year. Warm days and cool nights to break the rock of the desert as they expand and contract. Thus, most of the deserts are sandy and the strong winds that blow across the desert carrying grains of sand from one place to another to form sand dunes. Sand dunes grow and often leads to world leadership of the wind. Sometimes, entire villages have been covered by dunes.Just as adrift as the northern part of the Thar desert has become fertile under irrigation, so that crops can be grown in the deserts, where irrigation is possible . Most of the Sahara is a plateau some 180 meters high. There are mountains in the desert, but about two-thirds of the surface consists of sand dunes. Much of this land does not receive rain for several years. Suddenly the rain comes in one or two brief showers. This can cause flash foods, full of desert sand and broken rock. This can reduce the deep gorges in the desert, called wadis in Northern Africa and canyons in North America. After the storm like most of the water running in streams called wadis dried. The sand particles carried by the wind carving oddly shaped rocks.
