anyone been to Peru?

Looks like I'll be heading down there to Lima for a couple of weeks on business, and I'll have plenty of free time. Never been to South America... am I wrong to feel uneasy about going? If anyone has been there, hook a brother up with some good info please

you mean for work? I have to inspect a few commercial buildings for contamination. aside from that, I'm wondering if venturing out at night is a good idea.

I just spoke to him, it sounds like he had a great time. Here are his own words:

peru was awesome, i spent most of my time hiking, but spent one night and one whole day in lima
42:22
there are some awesome electronics black markets
42:30
some pretty cool parks
42:41
and the bars/clubs in an area called miraflores are good

So there you go. Sounds fun!

I've been out of Peru for 5 years now , I religiously visit Peru for 2 weeks every year , things havent changed much , but pretty much this is what i can Help you out with.

Well let's see there is a fairly amount of places to hang out, you basically will be moving along 3 districts each 15 minutes apart from each other, which are San isidro , Miraflores (gotica or aura clubs that sometimes do EDM ) and Barranco, basically ,there you can go out and find nice loungy pubs. the first 2 district have more of a yuppy scene the last one has more of a bohemian feeling to it.

There is a old theater called Teatro leguia , nice venue they only have to improve a little bit th e soundsystem but overall is a good place to party this is mostly close to lima downtown

if you want to find out about edm events check this site
