Also bring hand sanitizer, always use it before meals (or even eating snacks). All water should be either bottled water, or boiled & cooled, even for rinsing toothbrush. All vegetables & fruit should be either cooked or peeled.

In addition to Cipro, we also brought Immodium and Pepto-Bismol. Luckily, we didn't need any of these medications.

Try la Chomba on Av. Tullumayo. Entrance is through a non-descript door about 50m down Tullamayo from Ruinas Street on the left hand side.

They do chicharron and other local specialties and I hear its pretty good and cheap.

Thanks very much for all your help & suggestions everyone.

Now to try them all...

Thanks,

Enjoy, and let us know which you liked.
