Lima - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
Quite easy! People are welcoming! There is a strong socioeconomic/classist divide, however, and the people you'll likely meet in the neighborhoods where we have housing are much more privileged than the average Peruvian. - Dec 2024
The usual range of Latin American attitudes towards race, class, etc. exist. This can work multiple ways in terms of prejudicial treatment. Being polite and not going into inappropriate neighborhoods should be a successful strategy for socialization. - Jul 2022
