I agree that Lima had its day and now lost some of its attraction, at least in some burroughs. We thought of the same thing when we visited Ancon recently…

BTW – excellent blog, I linked back from ours.

I took some photos there earlier this year, unfortunately my Kodak has a terribly annoying vignetting problem, but I was still able to get some nice shots.

I recommend exploring some of the tucked in streets (Pedro de Osma side – not the back.) Barranco is tucked with hidden gems.

Down the Bajada de Los Baños there is a couple who are artists and owners of one of the Casonas. If you get a chance ask to speak with Toni Kourich and his wife Consuelo. You’ll normally hear Piano music coming from their house. They are very nice and interesting people.

Here’s a video I did with my Kodak:

*Toni is the bearded man playing the piano in the video.

Can’t wait to see what great photos you’ll get from Barranco and San Cristobal.

I use a compact, a Panasonic Lumix covered in black electrical tape. It does the job, but I’d love something with a wide-angle lens.
I’m going to do Barranco and Cerro San Cristobal when I get the chance.
