What makes Lima an amazing city?

Lima, the Peruvian capital, an amazing combining of parallel streets with colorful houses, and garden, parks and playgrounds.
Lima is the cuisine city, ceviche, lomo or chifa!! 4000 types of potatoes, the colorful quinoa, the fresh avocado , amazing tastes, a real variety of colors, and smells.
the moment i have landed at the Jorge Chavez, i got excited, to be honest, the immigration part was not really pleasant, basically they could not find Algeria on their system ( but it's not that important) .
so i was excited, i have got in the taxi with my friend , going to the hotel, feeling the warm weather, seeing big christmas trees in the streets, a lot of buses, noticing the important number of cars, motos and buses .
and suddenly we turned left, and the scenery has changed, smaller houses, clean side walks, walking or jogging people, and all around corporate buildings , defining the financial district.
My room is cute, cozy, comfy all what i wanted to enjoy my staying, after a shower, i went to the office 10 to 15 min walk, and already i have felt that people are happy, i felt weird but that's the first impression.
now i can tell you that after 10 days here, Peruvian people are happy , not stressed as their neighbor from chile, not nervous as the rest of the humans on the earth.

in this city , you can order anything online, many apps and services , in this city perople are caring , when i leave my hotel, the security guy will always give me suggestions on the weather to be sure i won;t be too hot or too cold.

the sun is not always visible , but it's always there, i have got a sunburn on my nose last weekend.

I have tried the carabeen sea, the atlantic ocean, the chinese sea, and this time for the first person i have see the pacific ocean, grey color, fresh temperature, perfect for surfing and playing with waves.

so in Lima , or to be more precise in miraflores, you end up on the top of the mountain to watch the ocean down, an amazing view and feeling, i enjoyed walking all the long the beach on the top and on the bottom of the mountain.

obviously, the best way to visit the city is to walk it, it's a clean environment, and with all the good food, you can just enjoy keeping fit.

Lima is also a culture, a touristic place, between the spanish architecture, the inka ancestors, the war with Chile, and the surprising chinese influence, every little step is a learning moment.

so you will walk a lot, eat well, meet great people , surf, parapente or paragliding , Lima is a gem from South America, come and visit it!!!
