Asking for Directions

When trying to find a restaurant, hotel, or a certain street in Cusco it is always best to ask different people. Why? Sometimes Peruvians may give you directions even though they are not exactly sure where your destination lies. They like to help people so they would rather give you an answer (as in: any answer) than not tell you anything at all. Also, if you ask a Peruvian how much farther until your destination, it is likely they will tell you “just a little bit longer” when in reality it is still a long ways off. This happens a lot during the guided hikes and trips in Peru! But I understand why even in the UK we say it will just be a little bit more. You definitely do not want to hear it will be another hour uphill when you are exhausted on your hike to Machu Picchu; especially at this altitude. In order to get the most accurate information, it is best to ask more than one person and take the general consensus.
