Lima, Peru
This city comes as a bit of a surprise, particularly when arriving overland from elsewhere in South America. I mentioned the opulence of Peru's past in an earlier post, but one walk along the sea front and modern district of Miraflores soon dispels any myth that there is no wealth here today. That doesn't go for the whole country of course, but there is probably more personal wealth in this metropolis than in any other city I have seen so far on this continent.
