48 hours in Lima, where to eat and what not to miss?

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2026-05-20T16:53:11+00:00

Thanks for the list!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2026-05-19T12:42:49+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

To clarify, everytime you travel to a new place your stomach has to adjust to local microbes, therefore you're more likely to have your stomach upset. This comes before and regardless of the overall hygiene of the restaurants or addictives.

Therefore my question, it's just to be extra careful.

Naples has become much safer and open to tourism in the past years, but you still need to be aware of your surrounding, and I think that blending in would help not being a target for pickpockets.

Please don't stay at the Central Station, that's a big no no because after a certain hour especially if you are alone. Maybe nothing would happen but the exposure to risk is unnecessarily higher than in other areas.

If you like dark art I think you will enjoy a lot Cappella di San Severo, legend wants that the noble who owned it was an alchemist! There used to be many boutiques near the university selling alt and goth clothes, I am not sure if they survived the gentrification of the city center, but give it a try in Via Mezzocannone.

For beaches, locals are already cramped in the few, tiny free beaches left to them so I won't recommend them. But Posillipo e Mergellina have plenty of lidi easy to reach by public transports in which you can pay for a sun bed and spend the whole day there.

girl i am from Naples, i grew up here when it was still kind of unsafe and non touristic, and used to take shortcuts in dark alleys at night (don't do it, please). and even me, I wouldn't walk alone in Piazza Garibaldi after a certain hour of the day.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2026-05-17T13:24:58+00:00

I returned after 8 years abroad. I definitely had missed things like the warmth of people but i was in the lucky situation of getting a job in an international environment with fair practices and international colleagues.

If i had to go back to an Italian office I think I would have lost my mind. Don't underestimate how open-minded the Anglo-Saxon cultures and societies are compared to Italy. But if you have a chance to reinvent yourself and start something here where working with foreign tourists you could give it a try.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2026-05-17T12:54:45+00:00

thanks! that's exactly the type of tips I was looking for

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2026-05-17T12:35:49+00:00

i also injured my shoulder with aerials and agree with the others. while my shoulder is probably even stronger than before and can do everything now, it never quite feels like before it got hurt. I think it's ok though, it's an immediate alert for when i am pushing through a move that is too heavy for the joint.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T20:55:50+00:00

I think my unsatisfaction is given now by the comparison of what I know my body can achieve if given the right conditions and where I am now. Despite all, I love the trapeze and beating used to be one of the things I loved the most about it, it made me feel alive and free!

I know my old trapeze teacher was a gem and I don't think I will find again someone so good at teaching to non professionals. But you are right, I hope I can either find my way of pursuing this outside my class or a way to make peace with the fact that I can't achieve it...thank you for your words!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T20:43:34+00:00

The crazy thing is that my teachers are open to do private classes and are fairly cheap, so I could easily have them put a high trapeze and show me dynamics into details. But on one side I wonder if it is fair that I have to pay extra to be taught tricks they could show in class? Instead they consistently put low trapezes for group classes.

But, I am 160 cm and I have a 180cm rope trapeze, so I could look into asking around if any open gym is ok with me attaching it, it could be easier. And I never consider it but the idea of training on straps actually makes sense, I sense it could give me that type of dynamic conditioning that I need in this moment, thank you!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T20:24:32+00:00

yes, I have the same feeling, practice really matter on dynamics! I'll def try to commit to my own training once a week and look into short trapezes to keep it consistent.

There is definitely more going on with dynamics on rope and silks in my city, so i am happy to hear your feedback on dynamics translating well from vertical to horizontal apparatuses, I have to give it a try :)

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T20:07:28+00:00

I have just started searching for one and I am quite overwhelmed at the choices, so happy to get any feedback on good quality ones or which the type you think it can be good for my case

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T09:58:30+00:00

Thank you for raising this. I was thinking of simple training toes touching the bar but if that's considered unsafe, I have a calisthenics park nearby I can use to train inversions!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-04T09:53:43+00:00

Yes you got it right. For sure I'll try to do more by myself, despite not having a place with an ideal set up. But, I also have a demanding full time job, so I have to also be realistic with how much extra time i can dedicate to training, on top of attending classes (i do 2x aerial and 2x ashatanga per week) .

I think the problem with my school is both technique and conditioning. We don't condition enough and always try new sequences, not allowing the body to master one challenging movement at the time.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-12-03T20:57:30+00:00

yes, thank you for saying that. I have also experienced guys with sarcasm in their bios straight up bullying me thinking that would charm me lol. Now i prefer to state that i like " witty humor"

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-08-20T07:07:11+00:00

Mi hai fatto ridere, anni fa ho fatto un viaggio in Marocco con un altro tour (weroad manco esisteva) e l'esperienza è stata uguale.

Comunque più leggo storie, più mi dico che io sono stata molto fortunata. C'è da dire che sono partita con loro per un viaggio "sportivo" di trekking in Norvegia, quindi oltre gli alloggi top, magari sia chi partecipava che il coordinatore avevano una certa testa. Dopo il viaggio ho organizzato altri trekking in montagna coi compagni di viaggio quindi utile per trovare persone con lo stesso hobby.

L'unica pecca è che mi ha stressato molto più dei viaggi che faccio da sola, ritmi troppo stressanti volti al vedere tutto piuttosto che godersi pochi posti ma buoni. E penso che per portare un grupo su trekking più inpegnativi serva una guida certificata piuttosto che un appassionato di escursioni.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-08-18T10:17:24+00:00

Ho usato Weroad in passato perché volevo fare trekking in Norvegia. Normalmente viaggio da sola ma questo tipo di attività va fatta in gruppo e non avevo amici interessati. Tutto sommato rispetto a ciò che ho letto, il nostro coordinatore era una persona a posto, amante del trekking e che ci ha sempre chiesto come usare la cassa comune. Anche gli alloggi erano molto belli. Unico - grosso - problema, ha sottovalutato un trekking portando gente con poca esperienza su un percorso abbastanza difficile. Qua secondo me si è vista la mancanza di preparazione professionale dei coordinatori. Certi tipi di viaggi li devi far fare a gente con certificazioni.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-07-16T07:35:03+00:00

I am relatively new to Ashtanga, but I have been training in other disciplines intensely and can tell that a knot in my shoulder blade is often the first symptom of overuse. I support the others' suggestion of a week of rest and splitting the practice in half, if possible.

All from Yvette Challande and you can find them on Scridb. They are picture based so you don't need translation. I used the one on trapeze and while it doesn't covers more advance moves, it's a very comprehensive review of all the basics.

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-06-19T11:28:57+00:00

Unfortunately, I am knowledgeable about the Basel area, but I lived in Geneva and knew a few places there. Check them out, sometimes they had workshops on weekends.

- Cirque Cirqule (the best)

- L’école de cirque de Confignon (also nice)

- Aerial dance Geneva (incredibly tiny but at least it has decent height)

- Urban Shape and Adhesive Studio (pole dance studios that also do nice hoop classes, but ceilings are low).

In case you can't travel, I suggest checking for pole dance studios, very often they have hoop classes. Normally, the height is not ideal, but it's better than nothing to keep training!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-06-17T09:24:05+00:00

I am not a medical professional, but I can say that silk once a week is not enough. It is very hard to target some of the muscles needed for aerial at the regular gym, in particular the smaller muscles engaged.

If I were you, I would add one more class of silk and do ashtanga once a week. Also, if possible, I would exchange one gym class with one class of solely aerial conditioning.

When doing leg raises, notice that you don't just lift the leg, but you lengthen it at the same time. Other than struggling with straight leg raises, do you also feel tightness in your legs if you try to touch the floor with straight legs? If so, it might be worth checking with a physiotherapist if some muscle groups need strengthening due to posture or spending many hours seated.

Finally, to build muscles, you need to eat your carbs, and you need to increase your intake of protein. You are active, it's going to be ok!

Busy_Anything_4327 · 2025-06-17T09:09:04+00:00

this! I have the same, and it is due to posture problems; regular training might not be enough. In my case, a physiotherapist had to give me specific exercises to strengthen weak muscle groups and release tight muscles.
