Lima Villas - Reviews and Rates

A friend of mine who travels a lot within Peru talked to me about Suasi Island in 2007. The first time I heard of it, I did not even know where it was. Suasi Island is a wonderful private island located on the north-eastern part of the Lake Titicaca shore at 3,816 msnm / 12,520 ftsl. The fact that I did not know about it and the amazing things I...

Hi all  Yesterday we ventured into the old part of town to check out some of the more historical sights. We cabbed it in from Miraflores for 20 soles (~= $6.50). We were suprised to see a rather heavy police presence around the palace... an amoured car on each side of the gates and police with riot gear at each street leading into plaza mayor (m...

4 days, 4 fiestas, 55 children, 6 volunteers, 9 staff, 3 schools........and a whole lot of fun! The 4 days of fiesta were started on the Sunday afternoon. 20 staff, volunteers and others who have helped the project in the last year descended upon the Bruce House for a 'traditional English Christmas dinner.'

We arrived in Lima on the Cruzero, a seriously fancy bus, after 14 hours on the road. It's a nice city, very spread out and is the place to come if you want a pair of shoes! We arranged via my aunt to meet Andres, an old friend of hers, and had a free guide of the city and it's various districts. We went quite far out of the centre and it was go...

Well Arrived here at 11pm at night and its a pretty scary place. I got off the plane, grabbed my bags and then out of the airport into a swarm of about 200 people pressing against a fence to give you a ride! AHHGGGG! but luckily there is a counter just before you leave the airport that has help and ring your hostal to see if you have a driver wa...
