So what does everyone think about the rise of the dollar versus the euro and sol? Will it continue? remember predictions of 18 months ago that by end of 2013 dollar would be at 2.25

Hopefully by the time I get back to Lima, exchange rate will be close to 3 soles

DATE: 13 December
LOCATION: Casino Fiesta, Miraflores
RATE: 2.94
COMMENTS: Yes... 2.94! That's the highest I've gotten in many years. Good for people with Dollars; Bad (I guess) for the local economy.

1. It will be interesting to see what the price at the Cambio stores is on Monday. 2.88 to 2.94 (2%) is a large swing. Usually the Hacienda is 0nly a tad behind the Fiesta.
2. If the Dollar stays strong, prices will go up here eventually. The problem that I've found is that when the Sol bounces back, the prices don't go back down.

EDIT TO ADD: Just paid for some stuff at the Metro Supermarket on Benavides and received 2.95 Soles for my Dollars.
