Juice Ladies: A row of them can be found in any Peruvian mekart, standing on raised platforms in front of giant mountains of produce. As you pass by they will try to flag you down, eager to liquify anything your heart desires for a few soles. While all of these juice ladies are the same: identical blenders, identical fruits and vegetables, identical glasses and matching lab-coats, people seem to develop a very strong loyalty to their juice lady. Our favourite blend was the combinado, a mix of orange, carrot, banana, melon, papaya, mango and (sometimes) aloe vera. To read more about juice ladies check out Jill's post on Vegan Backpacker.
