La Perla

Lima

Amazing view from our Airbnb of the Callao district of Lima, Peru. This area is unfortunately impacted by Peru’s multitude of tremors and earthquakes but there is still promise for rebuilding of infrastructure. I think fondly of the colorful buildings and the kindness of the locals we encountered. #Lima #Peru #UrbanJungle
