Emergency Contacts
MalaMala is a small coastal town in the Cañete province. The main emergency services are centralised through the local police station at Comisaría de Mala (Jr. Lima 205). Dial 105 for national police from any phone; for ambulance, call 106 (SAMU) but coverage in rural areas is patchy. For fire, dial 116. If you're in trouble, ask someone at the town market or a hotel to help you call.
💡 Save these numbers in your phone. In life-threatening emergencies, call immediately.
Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Mala, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.

Mala town centre → Hospedaje El Huerto de Vicky, Lunahuaná
💡 Negotiate the rate before getting in—no meters. Ask at Mala’s market or taxi stand near the Plaza de Armas. Share one with other passengers heading to Lunahuaná to split cost. The road is unpaved in parts, so allow 30 mins not 20.

💡 These shared minibuses run on a fixed route—no set timetable, just wait at the square and flag one down. Cramped but fast. Carry small change; they won’t have change for a S/20 note. Arrive before sunset to avoid waiting in the dark.
