Warnings Or Dangers: Street Kids

    • There are quite a few "street children" in Lima. About 90 percent of them inhale glue or other cheap drugs to get high. Be cautious if you are out and about in the city. Especially if you visit the Plaza San Martin, where many of them hang out around waiting to pick pockets or steal bags.

    Other danger areas for street kids include the Rimac River (where many of them make their homes) and around the Parque Universitario. I had several complete strangers warn me of the dangers in the Parque Universitario as I walked through there, though I was already aware of the problem and had a few trusted locals with me.
