Peru

After exhausting flights via Madrid and Caracas we finally reached the capital of Peru, Lima, a 12 million megahub, the second largest desert city on earth.

Welcomed by the local mayor we enjoyed a free pisco drink (really strong stuff!!) on Plaza de Armas. We are also attracting attention as tall white "gringos".

The three of us ontop of Museo de la Nacion (which is full of precolombian art and fotos of recent history including Sendero Luminoso, etc - fantastic) plus view of smoggy Lima.


The cliffs of Miraflores by night, a truly magnificent coastline.


After an one hour busride through the favelas we ended in the desert around Lima watching the Pachacamac ruins.
