Lima

'Lima la Gris' lived up to its nickname; during our three days here we didn't see the sun once. There is a colonial centre and a pre-Hispanic archeological site, but our focus was mainly culinary, cruising the many vegan spots in town. Outside the central modern neighborhoods full of expats, we also ventured into the suburbs where people have to make do with a lot less. It's easy to forget that 30% of Peru lives in poverty when you're sipping from your chai latte in a trendy coffee shop ... 😳. We had some interesting talks with locals about the problematic government corruption here, making us appreciate our privilege to be able to travel once more.Leggi altro
