    Sleep

  • '''Hotel San Borja''' - on the main plaza. Rooms about 25b a night with shared bathroom. Kind of dirty, owners are kind of Slum-lordish. Loud when the ubiquitious celebrations in the Plaza occur at all times of day or night. The bathrooms upstairs don't work and you must go downstairs to use an ugly one. DO NOT give them laundry to do; they lose things.
  • '''Hotel Avenida''' - about 8 blocks from the main plaza heading towards the airport. About 20 beds a night with shared bathroom. Tranquile.
  • Get out
