What to Do When the Sources Are Empty
You cannot build a field guide to Lima's New Year's Eve from nothing. The brief asks for a vivid, second-person guide with named venues, dates, and geography grounded entirely in source material. The source material provided states plainly: no source material is available for this subject. That means there are no venues to name, no plazas to map, no fireworks times to cite, and no markets to recommend. Every specific claim would be invented.
What I Can Honestly Offer
There are two paths, and neither produces the venue-and-date-rich guide described in the brief without a tradeoff you would need to approve.
- Supply source material — tourism board pages, municipal event listings, news coverage of past Lima New Year's celebrations, or travel articles — and I can build sections around what is documented.
- Accept a piece built on general, widely-stable facts about Lima — the malecón in Miraflores, the historic centre, ceviche and panetón as seasonal eating, the coastal geography — with all event-specific claims deliberately left general.
Why I Won't Invent the Rest
Fabricating which plaza hosts what, when fireworks launch, or which markets run late would be exactly the failure the brief guards against. Writing generically instead would produce the throat-clearing summary the brief explicitly rules out. Neither is a finished guide, and presenting either as one would misrepresent what the sources support.
If you can share sources, the vivid, specific, second-person guide you are after becomes possible. Send them and the work can begin.
