36 hours in Lima on route between Bolivia and Brazil is not the most amount of time to capture the bohemian neighbourhood of Barranco's creative and gourmet scene but...

Luckily I had the very best local experts on hand to give me the inside track.  Big thanks to the inspirational designer Chiara Macchiavello (check out her amazing heritage brand Escudo) and the wonderful Marisol and her team at Aracari ( the travel specialist to go to if you need expert guidance and inside connections in Peru).  You can read all about it in my story for design magazine Alto, but in a nutshell: Lima is unfailingly epic, Hotel B in Barranco is the bomb, and I could eat ceviche for breakfast everyday from La Mar. 

In fact, when in Lima, eat ceviche everyday for breakfast. punto.
