Lima, Peru?
We have a last-minute trip to Peru. Haven't researched it. We will have a
free day in Lima. Any suggestions for how to spend it? Things to do . . . things to avoid . . . TIA |

Lima, Peru?
At first the Plaza de Armas, in the center. After that, 2 museums: the Gold
Museum (Museo de oro) and the Anthropological museum (Museo national de antropogia). "Gypsy Moth" a écrit dans le message de news: ... We have a last-minute trip to Peru. Haven't researched it.

Lima, Peru?
Lima is not the prettiest place in Peru. Perpetual cloud (Rarely
rains) pollution and maniac traffic! Beaches crap, water cold! Presidential palace (changing of goosestepping guard) is quite good. The market is excellent but lots of thieves, don't take anything with you that you couldn't bear to lose! Don't go out at night on foot. Go by taxi at night, call one, don't get one in the street. Don't get in taxi when someone else is already in it. BE ALERT. It's quite a safe place really taking into account the above. Tourist police and ordinary police very helpful, don't hesitate to ask. Most Peruvians are excellent! One day is not enough Gypsy Moth wrote: We have a last-minute trip to Peru. Haven't researched it. We will have a free day in Lima. Any suggestions for how to spend it?

Things to do . . . things to avoid . . . Altro piccolo museo ma incredibilmente "ricco" é l'Enrico Poli. Pieno zeppo di statuette meravigliose, arte precolombina. Museo privato in zona Miraflores. Vale la pena. |

I meant that another museum I really enjoyed was the Enrico Poli in Miraflores. It's a small private museum that has more things to see than many of the other ones put together. If you have the time, go see it. |
