Lima Inns - Reviews and Rates

Paragliding today....whoa, what a killer thrill!! Seriously - this was 20 minutes of awesomeness. I have some great photos while hovering above the city and Pacific ocean!! This is something you have to try if in Lima.

I also signed up for a culinary tour of Lima, which took us down to the pier and fish market to see what catch was coming...

Unfortunately there are no parades due to the swine flu scare and the fireworks are occuring at too late an hour for me to feel safe downtown. So no fireworks this July. But I did get to see a great light show at the fountain park. This is not one of those holidays where it's fun to be in a certain place. Some of the restaurants and shops are cl...

So last night a talkative cabby informed us about this concert thats going on tonight in Parque Kennedy...And along with it some foods by world renowned chef Gaston. How lucky are we!!! Foodies landed in the right spot. So after a late start and food at Restaurante tauro....tasted like moms home cookin. And we ate 2 starters, 2 main courses and ...

If one arrives at Lima and stays at Miraflores (at the coast and 20 minutes away from the centre by bus), or if one just stays in the Plaza de Armas next to the Cathedral, Lima really looks like a beautiful city with gardens, fresh air, nice coffee places and shops. But, if one walks outside that area... Lima is a hell of a dump. An interesting ...

So after a mad taxi ride through the crazy streets of Lima we got to the airport hoping for an evening flight to Cusco but were told the next one was at 5.25am so we just hung out at the airport for 11 hours but enjoyed a 10 minute back massage for $5 and ate chinese food so not too bad! So we caught our flight and got to Cusco - Yey.

On Tuesday, Laura and I did another hike. We decided to take a taxi to the lodge, which was about 45 minutes away from our hostal (also owned by the owners of the hostal). From there, we took a map and started hiking. We started at an elevation of approximately 3700m. We followed the directions and walked up and up and up, but never were able to...

Jeannie here. Lima airport again. We are looking forward to taking off for Buenos Aires tonight - in about six more hours that is... Oh well, at least we have time to update the blog. In case anyone is wondering, we have had our first gear problem. The camera broke two days ago at Machu Picchu. We are sick about it, and Sean is currently typing ...

Bienvenida a Lima!! At least thats what it said......we arrived to a small airport greated by a Small Old Slightly Blind Erratic Peruvian Taxi Driver! But "Esta Bien" Apparently. We scurried off from the airport past the main Taxi Rank to this Corroding Piece of Metal called a Toyota Corolla which was to take us into central Lima... I had sorted...

Lima was quite an experience as by the time we got there we were both exhausted and then we got ill. We booked into a good hotel in Lima to rest for a bit then I (Nic) got the flu, then I got food poisoning. So I spent the vast majority of the week in the hotel room watching the two English speaking channels they have. We have watched nothing bu...
