Adventures In Lima, Peru

I spent only three weeks in Peru but one would think I were there for at least two months considering the amount of photos and videos I have archived. I have more time now to share the rest beginning with the country’s capital, Lima.

My friend and I stayed at Shablul hostel in the district of Miraflores. We were just a few blocks away from Parque Kennedy (Kennedy Park), which hosted a variety of events and festivals that we were lucky enough to partake in.

lima_001 — Mediterranean food fair with many pro-Palestine signs and such.

lima_002 — My first taste of coca came in beer form. My face should tell you how delicious it was (re: it wasn’t).

lima_003 — My friends in Lima took us to Club La Havana, a Cuba-inspired bar/restaurant. It’s where we had our first taste of pisco, a grape brandy popular in Peru and Chile.

lima_004 — Another club whose name I forgot.

lima_005 — Art vendors at Parque Kennedy.

lima_006 — Check out this cool building!

lima_007 — Hence the name. Lima’s sister city is Pensacola, FL.

lima_008 — More delicious, pisco-based drinks! There are tons of bars and clubs in Miraflores.

We also visited downtown Lima, a.k.a. the Historic Centre of Lima, and the Chinatown district nearby. There was also a Peruvian food festival happening blocks away from the Governmental Palace, which we were more than happy to partake in.
