and at Balsas, dried meat, paltas, oranges, chancaca, and 

 chocolate. From Balsas to Cajamarca, two dajs, stopping 

 at Hnanco; $4 or $5 per beast. Thence it is but half a 

 day's ride to the terminus of the Pacasmayo Railroad. 

 From Pacasmayo a weekly steamer runs to Callao in three 

 or four days, passing by famous Trujillo, and within sight 

 and smell of the guano-bearing Guauape Island ; fare, $23. 

 The best hotel in Lima is the "Maury;" rooms from 50 

 cents to $2 50 per day ; board and lodging from $3 to $4 

 Upon taking a room, the police hand you a blank to be 

 filled out with name, nationality, whence arrived, whether 

 married or single, business or profession. Steamers leave 

 Callao daily. To Valparaiso, five days, $100 ; to Panama, 

 six days, $120 ; fare from Callao to San Francisco, $253 ; to 

 New York via Panama, $197 or $214. Unless the tourist 

 tarries too long in Lima, he can go via San Francisco to 

 New York, arriving during llie holidays. The entire ex- 

 penses of such a tour from New York to New York via 

 the Amazons, the Andes, Lima, and San Francisco, not al- 

 lowing for a long stay in the cities, need not exceed $800 

 gold ; time, five months. And I venture to say that you 

 will be ready to compare notes with any one who has 

 spent twice the amount of money in following the beaten 

 tracks of European travel.
