Street View Arrives in Peru

Catedral de Arequipa

Peru now has Street View imagery on Google Maps. Today Google added Street View imagery to many roads and towns in Peru and over 21 thousand miles of new Street View imagery in Chile.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the Street View Trekker managed to make it as far as Machu Picchu this time around. However the beautiful city of Arequipa is well worth a virtual tour with Google's interactive imagery. The Orconcocha lake is rather beautiful as well.

A Google Maps Guide to Hotels in Lima

Hospedate.pe

Here is the first ever Peruvian Google Maps mashup to feature on Google Maps Mania. Being one-eighth Peruvian myself I hope it is only the first of many.

Hospedate.pe is a Google Maps based guide to hotels in Lima. The map allows you to search for hotels by location and order the results by price or by the hotel's rating.

If you click on a hotel's map marker you can get details about the services provided, the address of the hotel, a link to the hotel's website and view the hotel's rating.
