Though often shrouded in fog, Lima is one of the world’s driest cities. In the face of chronic drought, how do they maintain the many green spaces in the city? With irrigation. There are men whose job it is to water all the green places and parks.

We saw a man watering this area from the bus. But the same goes for ANY green space that you see on the coast of Peru. If someone didn't water it, it would be dry as dust.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
