LIMA: Paragliding and historical downtown

Current location:  click here

Our last week in Lima is going really fast. The weather has being nice and warm with some cool fog in the mornings, waming-up around noon to reach 28-29°C and stayed so until late at night. We found this perfect to combine some sighseeing with an afternoon beach-break and meeting other people for dinner.

Foggy Miraflores, sunny La Encantada

A fresh summer fog is not unusual for Lima, speciallz for the districts located directly towards the sea like Miraflores and Barranco. This is sometimes good as it keeps the day fresh , but were sun hungry and decided to go south looking for less fog.

Taxi driver ...

Taxi drivers can be really interesting to talk to, especially in countries like Peru where drivers have it usually as 2nd or 3rd job. Here, a taxi drive is not expensive (3EUR for a 30 minutes drive in my case) and is much faster than any other kind of public transportation. Many of the drivers, especially the most experienced ones, have an intensive life and an interesting past.
