Barranco de Noche
When you come from Villa el Salvador to Barranco your first thought is 'I ain't in Kansas no more!'
Barranco is a richer, bohemian neighborhood of Lima, with a hip and vibrant night life of pubs, cafes and discos, along with artisan fairs, posh restaurants and people of all ages strolling around. Barranco used to be a fashionable beach resort for the old Liman aristocracy, as our hosts explained.
As I noted, coming from the dust and poverty of Villa, it was definitely reverse culture-shock to be in such a well-kept, clean, modern place, with its statues and fountains and paved streets. It did take me a few moments to get back into the swing of 'normal' life! Once re-adjusted, however, I enjoyed the evening tremendously!
