Miraflores, Lima

~ By: Elisabeth - Norway

This photo was taken in Lima during a backpacking trip through South America early last December.

Lima was the destination after an extremely long bus ride all the way from Bogotá.

Very different with its climate, the ocean and the area we stayed in. Miraflores, or as my boyfriend called it with all its big and expensive apartment buildings and hotels along the beach, "Miami".

With an almost clear sky there was a great view of the ocean from the cliffs on this warm evening and a really calm and safe atmosphere.

The camera I used is a very simple and automatic one Casio EX-Z330, which sometimes strengthens the colors and lives its own life, nothing professional.

Parasailing in Lima
by: Doanne

To get to the parasailing park from Miraflores area:

Walk along the street overlooking the ocean north until you get to the small park with obvious parasailing info and paraphernalia.

If you are near the Larcomar Shopping Center, then it is just a short walk to the parasailing location and much better than taking a taxi.
