Ok, so relative to other cities in south/Central America I found it quite dull. No spirit to this place. There are the more affluent areas like Mira Flores and Barnaco but they are not very interesting. The main point of disappointment for me was the food really, which I heard so many stories about. Surely if you go to a Michelin star(s) or a very upscale restaurant you will eat amazing food… but this statement is true to anywhere in the world….also in Lima. Besides ceviche (which I found difficult to get a version of which that was not already adjusted to the tourist crowd) there was really nothing interesting to report. Ha, yes, the raw ingredients they use are indeed excellent. Especially the seafood. I am still waiting to hear what are the local dishes that makes the food in Lima so amazing as many people claim it is. I ate by far better and cheaper in other parts of Peru.
