    Last Day in Peru

    May 14 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

    To fill our last day in Peru we decided to head south from where we are staying in San Isidro and walk the coastal paths again going from the cities of Miraflores to Barranco to Chorrillos. We put more than 9 miles in and were impressed at how lovely these areas were, especially Miraflores and Barranco. Super clean pedestrian walkways, gorgeous gardens, shopping districts and lots of people out enjoying the day.

    Barrancos has a lot of street art we enjoyed, and we also walked by the medical college that had a display honoring their graduates that died during the pandemic (Peru had the worst rate of death illness of any country in terms of percentage of population 😔).

    Now for an early night. Tomorrow we leave for Argentina!    Read more
