In reply to Jay B.. I don't eat seafood and I still found Lima to be quite the culinary destination! I was able to eat at both bargain and high-end places and they were equally fantastic. This is a must-go city for foodies!

I did a lot of research before my trip to Peru and there were plenty of stories of petty crime and worse, but I have to say I never had a whiff of danger during my five days in Lima. Everyone I approached was helpful and happy to have a little chat. The city is quickly becoming one of those must-visit foodie destinations, even more so if you have a weak spot for seafood like me. La Mar was definitely one of the highlights of my stay! Another thing I loved about Lima is that it´s lot like New York and London in that taxis are everywhere, and they are really inexpensive. And good advice though, you should bargain with the driver BEFORE you get in.

In reply to TammyOnTheMove. I'll be there in the beginning of December and I'm hoping for the same! Fingers crossed for both of us...

I’ll be going to Lima in January, which I think is the coastal summer. So hopefully I will have a bit more sunshine. I do like the look of it even with the clouds out though. I often like cities that other people don’t like though, such as Phnom Penh, Kathmandu or Venice.

In reply to Gabriel. Brazil is high on my bucket list, but I don't think I'll head there for the World Cup. I'm not much of a soccer fan and so I think the increased prices and hassle of traveling during that time wouldn't really be worth it for me!

that’s awesome! Will you be in South America for the World Cup??? I’ll be there and i’m looking to travel a bit around before that.

In reply to Sam. I know how you feel, I love cities too! However I think for me it would have to be somewhere sunnier. My mood is greatly effected by the weather and being cold and seeing gray all the time for six weeks would equal one depressed girl! Shame because I love the city's unique geography and amazing variety of things to do!
