The street lamps are adorned with fairy lights, playing Christmas music around the clock (which can also get annoying!). Christmas garlands are hung everywhere, and you can buy candied apples and cotton candy on the streets. A type of pastry similar to Schmalzkuchen was even available, but about 10 times tastier than those in Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And the churros here are incomparable! They're filled with Dulce de Leche. A type of Nutella made from milk, sugar, and vanilla.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-194\" data-id=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/0a532d9c-45b8-431e-8a26-8fe1a03c52ca-1-768x1024.jpg\"><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-192\" data-id=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/86e6399c-21e9-4d29-a568-39ef5b3e5915-768x1024.jpg\"><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-193\" data-id=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/96eaafe8-8605-4405-8902-cb4c4307987f-1024x768.jpg\"><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We expected a lot of dirt and high crime rates from such a big city. But actually, Peru is one of the <strong>safest<\/strong> countries in South America. A city to fall in love with and definitely worth a visit! The temperatures are currently between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius. Google only shows rain, but luckily, we haven't experienced any so far!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">One of our highlights in Lima were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Parque de la Reserva:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">For just 1 Euro entrance fee, we saw an incredible light-water show. In the background, the many skyscrapers sparkled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/90bf9daa-5f6a-47b3-80af-48ca0aa762d5-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-199\" width=\"447\" height=\"596\"><figcaption>Beautiful light shows<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Parque del Amor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Park of Love. Flowers were blooming everywhere, with small birds sucking nectar from them. Thousands of love locks hung on the railings. Vendors, newly married couples, a few stray dogs, tourists, locals, and a lot of pigeons could be found here. Plus, there was a beautiful view of the South Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/0b0088e1-bc33-4bbb-9753-5e6a79a0c5da-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-200\" width=\"403\" height=\"538\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Other attractions, such as the Bas\u00edlica y Convento de San Francisco, Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral, and the Historic Centre, should not be neglected either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/af0f7d9c-e3f9-4a7d-9ff7-ff9d3d930060-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-201\" width=\"410\" height=\"547\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We also visited some markets. For new clothes, you shouldn't miss&nbsp;<strong>Polvos Azules<\/strong>&nbsp;. A huge market where you can get literally everything. There are 1000 different brand products here at an ultimate bargain price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">For example, I bought a well-made North Face rain jacket here for 15 Euros, instead of 120 Euros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It has already passed the waterproof test in the shower!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Mercado Central:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Here you can get all kinds of food. Peruvian national dish Ceviche is particularly common here. It consists mostly of squid. It wasn't really for me, but Max was pleasantly surprised. We both liked the fried calamari rings the most. The aisles of the market are all very narrow, and everything seems a bit crowded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"202\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/40fa7146-2dd2-4375-9d0a-16bd824cb2e9-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-202\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2b32069f-7061-480c-b544-88fb31435b12-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-203\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/934408a8-d533-427b-9e13-f4b22c730ec2-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-204\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/janetsworld3.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ff4bf829-de00-47c9-a64f-9a629e57cc73-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-205\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lima is definitely a very, very diverse city. Just when you turn a street corner, a new incredible place awaits you. But you don't want to drive here. They drive here like \"crazy.\" Similar to Asia, except here it's cars honking constantly instead of scooters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The cost of living is very low. For a good double room with a private bathroom and a large TV, you pay around 15-20 Euros per night. You can have lunch in local restaurants here for as little as 1.20 Euros (that usually lasts for two days, the portions are so huge!). A cinema visit costs 3-4 Euros per person. Perfect! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Next Stop: Paracas<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We made it!
