tell me you are kidding 
Of all the places in the world to discuss you pick Lima.  I have suffered through my experiences in Lima.  The weather is  miserable, a mist every night that deposits the ever present airborne dust.  In your face poverty and crime overwhelms any sense of safety.  People of wealth are forced to live behind gated walls patrolled by seriously armed security guards.
No mass transportation in the city.  Taxi drivers that rip off unaware tourists.  A downtown that has needed a coat of paint for decades.  A third world city in a fourth world country.  Please don't joke like this,  you can make better use of this space.
