Traveler Reviews of Lima
Great
100%Everything was great.
Dangerous.
-10%Terribly dangerous, even touristic places are dangerous. Thieves everywhere, a dirty city, dangerous zones.
Nice, friendly people
75%The people were very nice and friendly, and always willing to help. The food is outstanding. I tried quite few restaurants advised in V!VA Travel Guides Peru, but I the one I liked best was "Manos Morenas" in Barranco, which was not included in the book. The food was amazing, the service incredibly good (ask for Johnny Palacios, he is great!) and on Wednesday through Saturday they have live Peruvian music - what I would say was more an Afro-Peruvian type, as it was very lively and had lots of hip-shaking. There were excellent costumes. The US $10 cover charge was well spent. Lima per se was a bit disappointing, as I visited in July and the lack of sun really affected me. Colonial Lima was beautiful, and the Plaza Mayor was astounding, but besides that, and the few Colonial houses around (ie. Casa de Osambela Oquendo), there was nothing much. It was very polluted and cold. Perhaps I will try to visit Lima in summer...
Lima, Peru
100%I liked Peru because the people were nice and friendly! What I did not like was the poverty and sickness I saw in Peru.
