So... how do you get around in Paita? Simple! You take a Moto!
Wait a minute... what's a "moto"??? Well, it's short for Mototaxi.
Still don't know what that means? Think of a three wheeled motorcycle rickshaw that can carry two passengers, driven by some uniquely talented individuals who can maneuver and negotiate the streets of Paita where traffic signs, lane markers and stop lights are purely advisory in nature. Of course the liberal use of horns and hand gestures (no, not the kind you're thinking about) help.
Waving down a MotoTaxi |
Wave down a moto, jump in, and say "Plaza Vea, por favor" (a few prayers en route don't hurt).
The cost? A mere two soles each way (about $1.32 cents round trip).
Now you know how to do a grocery run in Paita!
