You'll hear it a dozen times before you get to Lima -- "but it's dangerous!" Yes and no. Lima is a big city, and like in all big cities, crime is common. But the good news is that most crime is petty theft, which means that keeping yourself safe is mostly a matter of keeping a close eye on your belongings. A few easy tricks: keep your personal belongings on your lap in combis and under your feet in taxis (robbers are known to break windows and reach in to grab your belongings). Always sit behind the driver when riding in a taxi so as to keep yourself safe from the driver, and never get in a taxi that just has a taxi sticker on the window. Look for a company logo, along with permit stickers, to ensure you're getting into a legit taxi.
