[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lima is not a great place to visit.  Frankly quite ugly, and stressful to get around as the cars and taxis don’t use lanes.  [b]It does have maybe the best food in the world though?  I’d consider going there for 2 days just to eat, but I’m an adult. [/b] My favorite non- food things there were the Gold Museum and paragliding off the cliffs in Miraflores (called parapente in Spanish).  This was years ago but l just showed up and paid a guy for a tandem flight.  Just googled out of curiosity:

Cuzco and surrounds are awesome.  I’m considering taking my own 11 year old there soon.  I went twice pre kids.  [/quote]

This is SO true! I've lived all over the world (including a year in Lima) and the food is just amazing. I've definitely made the trip for a long weekend just focusing on meals and walking around the funkier neighborhoods. Probably not the most fun for kids.

One small thing that isn't really an experience but a tip, is that if you are looking to buy anything (alpaca items in particular.) the place to do it is Lima. The markets around Cuzco are largely China-produced crap or better quality but EXTREMELY overpriced. Lima has a bunch of stores that aren't a total ripoff. Their outdoor markets for other things are also more reasonably priced. [/quote]
