    Can you post an in-depth video of your experience in Cali and the difference from Lima? Especially when it comes to Salsa dancing. I am Afro Cuban and I know that there are several Cuban/Peruvian timba bands in Lima. I want to visit both cities within the next two December holidays. This year I’ll be in Gran Canaria.
    Thank you.

    Renting an apartment in a middle class neighborhood with 3 bds(eg, San Miguel, Magdalena) costs U$500-600 + internet/cell 100 + electricity 100 + health insurance (one person above 60 yrs) 400 + fresh food 400. Total monthly (2 persons) = 1600 + 400 (2 person for health insurance) = U$2000. No way is possible to live in the USA paying just 2000 (a couple)
