Our first days in Peru gave a quick taste of Lima, the capitol city of Peru. Home to about 10 million people (1/3 of the population) it's a bustling place. We stayed in Miraflores, considered the boogie part of town, and the hub for hostels and tourism. The city sits high on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a good bus system plus easy to use combi buses makes it easy to get around.
