Hello all,
I am traveling to Lima for 9 days in July. I will have business in the city. What do I pack? I have traveled throughout Europe and Central America, but have never been to South America.
Thanks!

Think San Francisco in the summer. It has a heavy fog and overcast, you might get some drizzle from the fog but not really rain. It will mostly be moderate temperatures. Might bring one outfit of hot weather clothing just in case.
Enjoy the food in Lima it is fantastic and very reasonably priced.

Sonia for Cebiche Astrid Y Gaston for fine dining..
Have fun,
Ceviche is only served for lunch (until 5pm or so) so that you eat it fresh.
San Francisco rains in the winter and fogs in the summer.
Yeah ceviche for breakfast not so much. Lunch.
Although if you go to a tourist restaurant you can get it for dinner.
