I love Victoria's look. The dress is similar to the one she wore at Nicholas' christening. Her shoes - the floral print makes the look pop in my opinion.
 
This is a first visit a member of the swedish royal family makes to Peru.

Great gallery from the royal photographer Robin Utrecht. Photos also from the visit to Museo de Arqueología y Antropología, and the reception at the swedish Consulate General

Johan T Lindwall interviewed Victoria in Lima and of course asked comments about the pregnancy and Sofia's pregnancy and talked about Nicolas christening.
- It is a journey that is important for both countries and I think we have got a fantastic reception, Victoria said.
Between all program items she has gained a small gap and is allowed to rest. The trip is special. Victoria is pregnant with the couple's second child - birth is scheduled for early March. Now Victoria has been operating since early morning and it is one of the first breaks.
Queen Silvia has recently expressed her concern about travelling pregnant, but the crown princess seems to be taking the situation calmly.
- As long as I feel good, I see no problem with it, says Victoria quickly.
And you feel good?
- I feel good!
Tell us a bit about the trip.
- We started the morning with meeting students and it is one of the points of the trip. It is part of the development of ties between Peruvian and Swedish students.
It has at times been somewhat chaotic when Victoria and Daniel have shown up. During a visit to H & M's large flagship store in Lima became a while so hysteric that the guards surrounding the couple had to remove the photographers and separate them from everyone who was touched. Victoria seems unmoved, and highlights all positive meetings during the day - including president Ollanta Humala.
- It was an incredibly rewarding and successful meeting. We talked about Sweden and Peru, and we had the opportunity to ask questions about Peru and the enormous development that has taken place in the country. It was of course a lot of infrastructure. Health care. I also wanted to lift the sustainability issues. I feel very proud that Swedish companies take a major responsibility there.
Congratulations, you are becoming an aunt ("faster" = an aunt to brother's child) for the first time. How did you get the news?
- As it is in a family. One hears of themselves to each other.
You must have children almost simultaneously. Will you pull the strollers together?
- They are estimated to April. We are at the beginning of March and that's really close. It obviously feels great.

Svensk Damtidning's reporter tells that Victoria and Daniel really make southamerican success! Wherever they go people want to take in hand, take photos - preferably selfies.
The day in Lima ended with dinner at the Swedish consulate. Lunch with the president was longer than what the court had planned. But Victoria and Daniel clicked incredibly well with President Ollanta Humala and his wife Nadine. The meeting became therefore two hours, rather than one hour long.
- My heart is with you, said the president when the quartet said goodbye.
After a short ride back to the hotel, where the chambermaid helped Victoria with evening outfit (in much less time than planned), they were once again on their way to a dinner at the Swedish consulate which ambassador Jakob Kiefer hosted.

@Lady Finn - I'm surprised to see Victoria taking a glass of champagne. Maybe the pre-natal practices are just different in different countries, but in the US a woman is discouraged in drinking alcohol while pregnant. If this were a US embassy, and a US ambassador as the host, the American media would have criticized Victoria for drinking while pregnant and the ambassador would have been crucified for serving the drink to her.

She took a half fake sip not to make a fuss. Hardly "drinking alcohol". They accidently gave her the wrong glass and instead of makeing a big deal and embarissing the host and the waitor she took a fake sip and continued like a professional. I highly doubt she continued drinking it after that.

If you read the translation, it said that there was a mistake and also to Victoria was brought a glass of champagne, Svensk Damtidning thinks that it was because Victoria's coat hid her baby bump. Victoria didn't want to interrupt the ambassador's toast and ask for another glass of non alcoholic, but made a little sip from her glass and looked Daniel lovingly.

At the court website about the first day. They could have put a photo where Daniel is too.

Victoria and Daniel have started their second day in Lima early, leaving the hotel before 07.30. Lindwall writes that Victoria and Daniel are in a very good mood although it is early in the morning.

Victoria and Daniel visited in the morning Volvo headquarters, where they were informed about road safety and durability. But there was no driving, which made Daniel a little "sad", but he said that he has tested a Volvo truck some time ago.

Shortly after 07:00 Victoria and Daniel left for a visit to Volvo's headquarters. Volvo has for several years made a strong commitment to reduce traffic fatalities in Peru - every day ten people are killed in traffic-related accidents. Outside of Lima, Volvo has built up a facility to provide training in traffic and general sense to avoid accidents and reduce mortality. Local companies are sending their employees for training to make them safer in traffic, but there is one problem:
Too few women drivers - something that Daniel was quick to pay attention during the visit.
- How many women drivers are here? he asked, and was told that there are very few women.
Both he and Victoria noted that it was stupid and it would reduce traffic fatalities if there would be more women:
- In the long run it will be cheaper. They are more responsible, says the couple.
They had a long review of the program.
And of course Victoria's pregnancy was one topic. They have not even told if they know if it's a boy or girl. Now Victoria revealed that they have not found out that:
- We do not know yet.
Not?
- No, we'll see. It will no doubt be great, Victoria laughed.

The Mayor of Lima, Luis Castañeda Lossio, presented the "Ciudad de Lima" Medal to Princess Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée of Sweden, known as Victoria of Sweden, who arrived to the City Hall as part of her official visit to Peru where she promotes bilateral cooperation and economic relations between her country and Peru.
The Mayor stressed that it is an honor for their city to receive her visit because she is one of the most emblematic figures in the world of gender equality and the progressive role of women.

Svensk Damtidning's reporter writes, that Victoria would have wanted to stay longer at the Cancer Institute with the children. The visit was a success, even greater when Victoria was fishing out a bunch Pippi-books from the purse. The children had been really looking forward to the visit. They had even prepared a nice welcoming song. The Crown Princess couple's visit was a joyful event in the otherwise heavy diseaseful everyday life. There was a slight chaos when the Peruvian media pushed themselves in the children's hospital beds.
- It doesn't feel okay when so many people come as they are so sick, Daniel said after the visit.
This evening Victoria and Daniel fly to Colombia, Cartagena.

I don't think they would say anything that could be taken as "stupid". I would translate what they said as "unfortunate". The tone of voice and way of saying "dum" changes the meaning.
 
Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN) tells at their website about Victoria's and Daniel's visit:
Victoria and Daniel had a meeting headed by Dr. Tatiana Vidaurre Rojas, who presented the results of the implementation of Plan Esperanza and its positive impact on public health and particularly in the care of patients in the INEN.
"We are pleased to have received Princess Victoria with whom we share a presentation of the actions performed in our institution through the Plan Esperanza. We also visited the pediatric ward and Outpatient Chemotherapy area for children. We explained how we interact with patients during their treatment and told about complementary programs we offer: "Sonrinen", a form of psychological support; "Nutrinen" to disseminate issues of healthy nutrition, and "Aprendo contigo", a school within the Institute through which spreads knowledge related to school work".
Princess Victoria interacted with patients and their families. In the classroom they donated books in Spanish and dolls brought from Sweden. After visiting hospitalized children, she participated in the workshop of beauty and self-esteem "Club de la Mama", who presented them their feelings and experiences of battling the disease, and developing an attitude toward life, overcoming their fears to continue with their treatment.
The Head of INEN said that this kind of official visits strengthen the exchange of knowledge and technology between the institution and scientific and academic organizations in Sweden.

Crown princess Victoria and prince Daniel visited INEN in order to check progress in oncology health led by the Peruvian government. Deputy minister Peter Grillo Rojas from the Ministry for Health informed visitors that since 2012 there are over 130,000 people who accessed the free cancer treatment thanks to Plan Esperanza.
"The princes were very impressed with the care given to cancer patients," said the official, revealing that a Swedish mission will arrive to Peru to strengthen the exchange of technical and scientific experience in oncology as a result of this visit.

Johan T Lindwall writes that both Victoria and Daniel became very touched at their visit to the children's ward.
The seriously ill children, many of them bald at the head due to chemotherapy and radiation, welcomed the couple with singing. Both the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel were notably taken by the moment, but Victoria tried to keep spirits up and talked through an interpreter with several children.
- Hey what's your name? Victoria said when she sat down at one of the children.
- How old are you? What do you like to do?
The children brightened up and Victoria handed over Pippi books in Spanish as presents. After a while at the department both Victoria and Daniel felt that the children needed peace and quiet.
- Let's go. I think we should leave them in peace, the Crown Princess said and took Daniel with her.
Afterwards - in the fresh air - Daniel and Victoria went a little aside. They needed a moment to themselves to deal with the experiences.
Lindwall tells also that Victoria was congratulated during the day of her pregnancy and they got a small porcelain Volvo truck on their visit to Volvo.

Visit has been noticed also in Estonian online media.

But it is noteworthy, because royal news aren´t common in Estonian media. The Duchess of Cambridge is probably the only exception.
