Creator's Key Takeaways
I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn for about $100 a night. And the Hilton Garden in, in my opinion, could easily be a regular Hilton.
People think uh Peru might be dangerous, so they don't come here. Especially Lima, they think uh and in some areas of Lima it is dangerous.
I did have an earthquake happen here in Lima.
When you do come to Peru, don't be scared to try guinea pig. It actually tastes better than I thought.
