But is interesting to know how many different sensations were created when some one visit this city. Yeah, lima is grey, and thats not only because of modern polution, stratus clouds are trapped by the Cordillera de Los Andes and the warm air that pacific ocean emanates. Thats why the president San Martin (yeah... we are talking of 16th century) tried to paint Lima with vivid colors. Miraflores is just as you described, thats the truth, and yeah... Barranco is the typical "bohemian street" that many cities have, and Downtown is dirty but with great buildings, and yeah... kinda dangerous at some hours. But thats just part of Lima. Lima have almost 9 million habitants, and soo sooo many faces. You have not described Lima, but just a very very little part of it, maybe one of the most known, but a little part anyway.
