Child Street Gangs of Lima – The Piranhas

I’m flying into Lima from Cusco tomorrow and arrive at about 4:20pm. It’s a 22 hour bus ride or 1 hour flight, sort of a no brainer with a long trip to Australia following.

I have been warned by many that Lima is a dangerous city, especially when traveling alone. Supposedly even at the airport you need to be careful; green means go and black is our friend the grim reaper when it comes to cabs.

Anyways, take a look at that video. A reader named “The Welsh Wizard” sent it to me as he knows I’m one to enjoy solo strolls through the streets.

I arrive late afternoon and have a flight to LAX the following day at 12:40pm; an airport hotel is looking like the play of choice.

I’ve been around the block but never seen anything like this… Every 5 minutes?!

    That is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. Peru’s government MUST hire Social workers etc and allocate some money and resources to stop this; not just for the victims sake, but equally for the sake of those poor kids as well…

    And here in America we have a Republican party that still wants to give tax cuts to the upper echelon of the earnings ladder …somehow, I dont think these “piranhas” would feel the effect of “trickle-down”

      I’d be curious to see the outcome if these piranhas got their hands on some random republican fresh from the office.

    That is some professional mob. Good that they do not hurt people

      Just can’t be an idiot and crack one of them; one must accept their fate with dignity.
