Although I have driven in many chaotic countries, I think this is wise.
Peruvian buses are much better than USA,
yet you may wan't to try for a car with driver.
Hotels can arrange such, but usually at a stupid price.
Sometimes I pay it, though, especially when
much of the other transport/hotel comes in free.
Going door-to-door and stopping when you like is worth a lot.
When taxi-ing around LIM,
ask your driver for a price on a one-way to Paracas.
He may not wan't the job, but his brother might.
Then again, the brother could be a secuestero.
