Why is the sky GREY in Lima?
Five months a year (June through October) the garúa covers the city sometimes high in the sky, sometimes even in between the buildings and homes of Limeños. This mysterious sea mist is caused by the interaction of warm inland desert winds (don’t forget Lima’s a desert!) and the cool water streams of the Pacific Ocean.
Is Chiclayo worth visiting?
Chiclayo is definitely not a place which tourists usually visit when travelling to Peru. It is definitely a must for history lovers, and a pleasant city to love in for a few weeks, but I understand why tourists would give it a miss.
