The light winter drizzle is enough to wet the streets of Lima and also to bring life back to dormant desert plants on the high coastal hills. Large flocks of goats, sheep, and cattle take advantage of the green pastures that result.
Ar valgmi, ko nodrošina ziemas smidzenis, ir diezgan, lai Limas ielas kļūtu mitras, piekrastes augstajos kalnos atkal sazeltu tuksneša augi un izkaltušie klajumi pārvērstos par sulīgām ganībām, kur ganīties plašiem kazu, aitu un liellopu ganāmpulkiem.
