How can I communicate with my family and friends once I am in Huancayo?
There are many “locutorios” throughout Huancayo, where a volunteer can use public phones to make calls nationally and internationally. The prices may vary depending on the location to which one is calling and the service being used, but on average a phone call to the US is about $.15/min. Huancayo has many internet cafes located throughout the town. It is possible and relatively cheap to sign onto the internet at any time throughout the day. It is even possible to find an internet café that has cameras with audio equipment and microphones so that you can meet a friend or family member online, through such services as MSN/AOL/Yahoo Messenger and Skypes. Volunteers will also have the ability to check email daily.
