"A city of contrasts - Une ville de contrastes" Lima by Maillekeul


Lima Travel Guide: 1,453 reviews and 2,610 photos

Lima, a very special and strange capital... Completely different from the rest of Peru, in the same way that this colourful hat on the head of this sleeping traveler...

Une ville bien etrange, Lima...
En decalage avec le Perou tout comme ce bonnet sur la tete de ce voyageur endormi...

    Travellers from the north often go to Peru with ideas about the Incas and the Amazon and are unpleaseantly surprised when they encounter a big, modern, chaotic, gritty city, and the shock doesn't let them see the vibrancy and beauty of the place.

    OK, on n'ira pas à Lima. Je l'imaginai différement.

    Interesting photos from Lima, although a bit scary... I suppose I won't go there if I in the future comes to South America...
