Lima has some of the worst traffic and craziest driving in the world. We've told you in previous posts that Peru statistically has the most dangerous roads in the world. I have often tried to take a picture that would truly show how bad the traffic can get. I've never been successful in capturing the true congestion in the streets. However, I did run across this picture recently published by a local newspaper. I hope it will convince you that we do have a bit of a traffic problem! Be sure to click on the picture for the incredible (albeit not terribly sharp) view! Remember only 8 percent of Peruvians own their own vehicle the rest rely on public transportation. When we are at a stand-still in traffic it makes me glad that vehicle ownership isn't common!
