 Just as residents and citizens of Peru purchase public transportation cards, so too will tourists be offered the same fast and accessible manner of paying for a lift on the Lima Metro or the Metropolitano.

Although not rechargeable, the cards can be kept as souvenirs, Huertas points out. Upon landing in the Jorge Chavez International Airport, located in the capital city of Lima, foreign tourists will be able to purchase said cards, gaining access to public transport and avoiding the long lines at Metro stops.

 In this remote part of Peru's 700,000 sq km of Amazon rainforest, there is not much beyond subsistence fishing and farming as a way to earn a living. Other options are mostly illegal: logging Amazonian hardwoods, growing coca, hunting and selling bushmeat. These activities are all prohibited, but in a region larger than Germany, the state is virtually absent. Levels of poverty and illiteracy are far above the national average. Organised crime and evangelical sects fill the vacuum. As in the Rudyard Kipling poem, here the "law of the jungle" is "as old and as true as the sky".
