Lima, "City of the Kings", is the capital and largest city of Peru. Founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro, Lima is located in the coast of Peru.
Areas to visit include the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) of Lima where you will find Palacio de Gobierno (The Government Palace)and the Cathedral, also Convento de San Francisco where Catacombs are found, Parque de las Leyendas (zoo), museums, beaches, etc. Lima is a pretty city, with a lot of things to offer, but you will have to be prepaired for a cultureshock. Most people, like myself, enjoyed Lima the least of all what Peru has to offer. It's a varied and crowded city but the scenery is beautiful and the people are very friendly and helpful. If you understand Lima, you´d understand the country.

Lima, Peru -› Austin, Texas, USA -› ...
After our delicious lunch it was time to go to Miraflores and meet other TB's. After a long time looking for parking place, finally I could park, yeah! And finally we met them: Jenny & Cinthia, both Peruvian TB's and Michael a German TB who just arrived to Lima a couple of days ago. It was so great meeting Michael. We have been in touch since a long time and I felt as if we already knew each other, haha. When I first saw him, didn't need to say anything else. Just gave him a big hug....

Lima, Peru -› Buenos Aires, Argentina -› ...
Finally we arrived to Lima around 2am! Was the flight so short? Not
at all. Buenos Aires is two hours ahead of Lima, so actually we
arrived at 4am, that’s why I was feeling tired. Anyway a good thing of a
delayed flight is the fact you arrive to the airport while nobody is arriving,
haha. So, it’s pretty easy to go through customs. It took a bit long until our
bags came out, but it wasn’t too bad. Before leaving Buenos Aires, I was able to arrange the taxi
and a cab was waiting fo...

Personally, I prefer to discover a city just by my own. I mean, I don't like going with a guided tour. But this time was different. My boss came to Lima during Easter and before being able to travel to our destinations in South America, we had to spend some free time in Lima.
He has been here several times, but never could know the city, always was running from one place to another. Anyway, he wanted to take a tour and I chose this one, because I wasn't at the Parque de la Reserva befo...

Lima, Peru -› Miami, Florida, USA -› ...
I couldn’t believe it, I was back home!!! I was able to communicate to my mom while I was in Miami, so she sent a taxi to pick me up from the airport. Doing customs wasn’t bad, since I left the plain early, but picking up the bags took a long time!!! Actually the longest was getting out of the baggage claim area. In Lima you have to press a button in order to know if they are gonna check your bags or not. Anyway, 2 flights from Miami arrived at same time and both of them were full, ...
