Americans in Lima

I'm getting ready for a whirlwind tour of South America. Where are the places in Lima that Americans hang out?

No trackbacks.

In Lima its Miraflores (larco mar mall) and the Barranco district. There is a nice and reasonably priced hotel called hostel torreblanca that is near to larco mar. Usually runs between 45 and 55USD a night and includes breakfast. Try to pick up some of the cheap tours they offer there.

In the Barranco district, there is a bar known as the Juan Bodega bar...pretty awesome little hole-in-the-wall. They serve sandwiches (special pork) and a really fine Pisco (which is an acquired taste for sure). Also, near the main plaza in Miraflores look for an Ice Cream shop. Around the corner, on a side street (maybe 75 yards long) there is a Hostel with a Tapas bar adjacent. This place is a decent meeting point for other tourists.

Cusco----go to Mama Afrika. Off the hook. For shizzy.

Iquito----pretty much anywhere in Iquito is a party. BE CAREFUL.

I loved Mira Flores in Lima , Peru. I stay at a hotel called Larco and it is very close to the Marriot and close to the Ocean and a nice mall set into the side of the hill to the ocean. I have been there now twice and I love Mira Flores. I have never felt in danger at all and I stand out like a sore thumb. I am 6 feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. And a year later the friendly people around remembered me and welcomed me again very nicely. I felt safer there than I do in the downtown of Chicago. It was a beautiful experience and I am actually looking into purchasing a condo or house there to stay while I return. It seems to be the main hub for any tourists to go before venturing out to the Machu Pichu or Jungles. I have done both. Amazing country with such friendly people and helpfull. Many people are learning english there and every time I went it was easier to communicate. I also am learning more spanish though. :)
