The slums, from above

The cross on top of San Cristobal

At the top of San Cristobal hill there's a good view of the city, and the bullfighting arena here behind me.

On the hills around Lima is where the slums are, but the city pays them to paint the crumbling buildings bright colors, and they put up signs saying things like, "keep Lima beautiful, don't dump trash." Quite the facade.
