    Plaza Mayor And Surroundings: The rain in Lima is called Garúa or llovizna
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lima Plaza Mayor And Surroundings
  • Walking in the rain
  • by El_Sueco
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Well, it was one of those rainy days ...
    (in fact, it is not *rain*, it is garúa or llovizna which means that the relative humidity is 100 por cent, and when the temperature falls the air cannot hold the water, which then falls out in a form similar to rain)
    ... I mean, to you it will make no differens if it is rain or lluvizna, as long as you get wet.
    This garúa is most frequent during the winter period (in June-July-August), when the weather in Lima not is at its best.

     Hi, I enjoy the pictures, peruvian food is amazing so little known. The true beauty of Peru is in the country o "la sierra" . If you next time try Jauja and neighboring towns.

     I have to correct what you wrote about the names of the food so the correct names are: Papa Rellena, Papa a la Huancaina, Pie de Durazno, Chicha morada. Hope you correct that, thanks.
