"The somewhat dangerous capital of Peru" Lima by VolsUT

Lima Travel Guide: 1,161 reviews and 2,723 photos

Stay only if you must, go on to the mountains

This city is not a good one and would be untouched by visitors if not for the near by wonders of the world. I do not have many pics of Lima because it was a very frightening time when I visited and tried to stay on the beach since downtown was closed by the military!

One of the few nice things in Lima

Im told downtown is nice

I could not visit the main square in Lime when I was there because of civil unrest, a common occurance in third world nations.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Gateway to great places
  • Cons:sometimes civil unrest
  • In a nutshell:Not a good city to visit
  • Last visit to Lima: Jan 2006
